Effects and Countereffects of ‘Objective’ Scientometrics as Used in Research Performance Evaluation. A Disciplinary Approach

Summary/Abstract: In a previous study, we tried to interpret – in the context of the Glänzel myths – the beliefs, misconceptions, paths and misguided paths generated by the uniform application of the „objective metrics” of scientometrics to all disciplines, with no regard to disciplinary specificities. The recent model change in some Hungarian higher education institutions and the introduction of teacher performance evaluation foregrounded scientometrics, especially disciplinary anomalies, even more. In the present discussion we attempt to examine how the preference for Q-rated journals affects the performance of humanities teachers-researchers; and, as a consequence, how Hungarian journals rated by the departments of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences as scientific become backgrounded; how the research performance evaluation point system and the scientific promotion criteria system contradict each other; what it means that Hungarian researchers work under a double pressure; and what long-term effects can predictably follow.
