Scientific project management:

Has been was the supervisor of a grant research project of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the topic "Reassessment of industrial prospects of copper-porphyry mineralization of continental volcanic-plutonic belts (devonian and late paleozoic) of Kazakhstan in the light of modern geodynamic concepts" from 2015 to 2017.

Currently he is the scientific leader of the research project on the topic “The influence of fault-fault tectonics within the Aktogay deposit on the change in the mineral composition of copper-porphyry mineralization” for 2018-2019. This scientific project is funded by “KAZ Minerals Aktogay” LLP.

Over the past five years, the main results of scientific research and educational work of Y.K.Arshamov, whether co-authored or written individually, have been published in 50 works, including 5 study guides and a number of educational programs and curricula in the specialty of "Geology and Exploration of Mineral Deposits" and "Applied Geology". 12 of the scientific articles and reports published in journals and scientific conferences are indexed in the Scopus database. Scientific articles and abstracts have been published abroad and in publications across the state, including publications recommended by the Committee for Quality Assurance in the Field of Science and Higher Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
