The multidisciplinary journal will include a number of sections: physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, medicine, history, philology, economics, law, and more.
The KBSU rectorate views the launch of the new journal as one of the effective ways to implement the most important strategic tasks facing the university in the field of education and science. The fulfillment of this important function largely depends on how faculty and staff,
structural divisions, and external authors will support the journal, present interesting materials and proposals for publication, promote its release, and do everything possible to ensure that the journal "Proceedings of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University" competes with the best publications in its field.
Future issues of the journal will also include the publication of "Official Materials," "Information Messages," and advertisements.
The editorial board of the journal sincerely congratulates the team at Kabardino-Balkarian State University on the release of this new publication.
