Abstract

The following paper examines some of the publishing habits observed among the winning applicants of the Bolyai János Research Scholarship. As an academic support programme, the Bolyai Research Scholarship forms a bridge between scholars with the title of doctor of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) and the young generation of researchers with an academic degree. The winning applicants in 2021 were researchers under the age of 45, cooperating with international co-authors, having highly cited publications and showing a continuous publication history of 15 years on average. The scholarship holders come primarily from research centres and universities. The paper argues that the achievements of scholarship holders follow the international patterns of academic excellence and publication as well as the requirements for international cooperation and publishing mainly in open access journals. In doing so, they prefer journals under the umbrella of Elsevier for performing their publication activities; however, there has been a significant increase in those publishing in MDPI journals, recently. The results show that one-third of the applicants had published before and a fifth of them had published in one of the journals of MDPI two months after announcing the list of the winning applicants. At the same time, differences in publication traditions and award systems reveal marked differences in publication strategies and evaluation criteria across fields of science. Based on this, the descriptive statistics presented in this paper contribute to our understanding of the conscious career planning of young scholars in line with international standards.

科学卓越与出版模式:2021年匈牙利Bolyai János研究奖学金的获奖申请人
以下论文考察了Bolyai János研究奖学金获奖申请人的一些出版习惯。作为一项学术支持计划,Bolyai研究奖学金在拥有匈牙利科学院博士头衔的学者和拥有学术学位的年轻一代研究人员之间架起了一座桥梁。2021年的获奖申请者是45岁以下的研究人员,他们与国际合著者合作,拥有被高度引用的出版物,平均连续出版15年。奖学金获得者主要来自研究中心和大学。论文认为,奖学金获得者的成就遵循了学术卓越和发表的国际模式,以及国际合作和主要在开放获取期刊上发表的要求。在这样做的过程中,他们更喜欢爱思唯尔旗下的期刊来开展他们的出版活动;然而,最近在MDPI期刊上发表的论文显著增加。结果显示,三分之一的申请人之前发表过论文,五分之一的人在宣布获奖申请人名单两个月后在MDPI的一家期刊上发表过论文。同时,出版传统和奖励制度的差异揭示了不同科学领域在出版策略和评价标准方面的显著差异。基于此,本文提供的描述性统计数据有助于我们理解年轻学者有意识的职业规划是否符合国际标准。
