Publications that meet certain criteria are credited with publication points. Publication points are included in the funding basis for GUC. There are two criteria that must be completed for the publication allocates publication points: first of all publication must meet the requirements of academic publication. Secondly, the publication must be published in a recognized scientific publishing channel.

We wish to register all research activity, including publications that are not rewarded with publication points. This way, we highlight what GUCs researchers produce and publish, and give them an opportunity to market their results.
