Summary/Abstract: The modified Guidelines for the Compilation and Evaluation of the Applications for the Position of University Full Professors approved by the Hungarian Accreditation Committee was to enter into force on the 1st of September in 2020. The reshaped requirement system envisions the transformation of current assessment criteria. Journal publications have become the focus of scientific performance, however, publications in domestic journals alone are not enough; apart from being required for achieving international scientific visibility and quality ranking, international publications have also become a prerequisite for scientific degrees. The present study examines the impact and consequences of the modified requirement system on university professorships and, in a broader sense, on their international scientific recognition through the publication activities of lecturers from Hungarian universities in the fields of Economics and social sciences.
