The article is an extended review and analysis of the main trends in the field of processes of aca- demic publications, the latest phenomena and initiatives that have appeared in the field of science and publishing abroad and are of significant interest also for Kazakhstani scientists. The initiatives of Euro- pean scientific foundations and organizations have a great positive charge and are aimed at solving a number of extremely urgent and humane tasks to open up access to scientific knowledge to a wide range of scientists, entrepreneurs, practitioners and other people. Science should not be elitist, closed, and the results of scientific research carried out on the money of taxpayers cannot be sold to them for the reason that they were published in hard-to-reach rating journals. However, not everyone and not everywhere is ready to accept these changes positively. There are a number of reasons for this.
The author also considers other problems related to the review system, financing, selection criteria, as well as the problems of academic journals in Kazakhstan, which seek to raise their status to the inter- national level.
