The Highly Ranked Scholar Award 2024 (ScholarGPS, USA)
In December 2024, Dr. Maxat KASSEN was recognized among the world's top 0.05% most influential researchers in the field of electronic government (e-government) in the Highly Ranked Scholars – 2024 rankings published by ScholarGPS (USA). The ranking is widely recognized as one of the world's leading assessments of researchers' lifetime scientific achievements.
The Highly Ranked Scholars ranking evaluates researchers based on three key indicators:
• Productivity (number of publications),
• Impact (citation performance), and
• Research quality (H-index).
The assessment is based on the ScholarGPS database, one of the world's largest scientific analytics platforms, covering more than 200 million publications and 30 million researcher profiles. Unlike many other rankings, ScholarGPS evaluates researchers based on their lifetime scholarly contributions rather than recent performance alone. The ranking also includes retired researchers, making this recognition particularly prestigious. He has maintained a high position in the ScholarGPS rankings for three consecutive years.
Dr. Maxat KASSEN's inclusion into this elite group is further evidence of the international recognition of his research on the theory and practice of electronic government, as well as related fields of digital governance and public administration. Over the course of his career, he has received numerous international scientific honors, including the Fulbright Scholar Award (2012) from the U.S. Government, the Scopus Award (2018) presented by Elsevier (Netherlands), and the Leader of Science: Web of Science Award (2020) presented by Clarivate (USA). Since 2020, he has also been recognized in the World's Top 2% Scientists by the Stanford University ranking (United States, 2026).
