By the time they obtain their doctoral degree, doctoral students must collect at least five publications that are published in Hungarian and/or international journals and/or peer-reviewed volumes.
The list of journals accepted by the scientific committees of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 2013 and published on the website of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences serves as the guide.
Out of the five publications, either (1) one must be listed in Scopus, Q1-Q2 journal, or (2) two must be listed in Scopus, Q3 -Q4 journal, or (3) four pieces must be published in the Central European Journal of Educational Research (CEJER), the Hungarian Educational Research Journal (HERJ) or other foreign-language journals. Additional publications can be published in any of the journals listed by the Pedagogical Science Committee of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences or may be peer-reviewed book chapters or studies.
