Kyrgyzstan has over 50 higher educational institutions offering post-graduate and specialist degrees. Established since Kyrgyzstan gained independence in 1991, many of these institutions are relatively new. They define their own research programmes, and Web of Science data shows there has been a significant increase in research publications from Kyrgyzstan. However, the visibility of Kyrgyz research remains low.  Researchers tend to publish articles in closed-access journals, and lack the knowledge and skills needed to share, promote and raise visibility of their research output.
