A visegrádi négyek, Ausztria és Románia gazdaságtudományi publikációs teljesítményének összehasonlító elemzése
A comparative analysis of business and economics publication performance in the Visegrad Group of countries, Austria and Romania

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the publication performance and the received scientific impact (for instance, citations) of the Business and Economics researchers in six Central European countries, including Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. The analysis is based on the Scopus citation database. Empirical findings demonstrate that Business and Economics researchers in these countries follow a well established publication strategy, focusing on increasing the number of publications. Simultaneously, they tend to publish with coauthors to strengthen further the number of publications. Concerning the number of citations, it is raised by the increasing number of publications and by a wide coauthor network, which also affects their Hirsch index favourably. Regarding their publication performance, the leading Business and Economics researchers in the Visegrad Group of counties, Austria and Romania belong to no typical cluster, as the scatter plot shows a relatively homogenous community of these researchers. Our findings demonstrate that in the ranking of researchers, Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic dominate, Hungary is in a secondaryline, while Slovakia and Romania are lagging behind.
