South American countries have also started to develop national AI strategies. The aim of the study is to provide a comparative analysis of strategy development processes in five South American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru. For the quantitative analysis, I used data from the OECD AI Policy Observatory (Artificial Intelligence Policy Observatory) and other international databases, while for the qualitative analysis, I used document analysis on national strategies. The countries surveyed have taken different paths in preparing their national strategies, but the common point is that in all of them the strategy is part of a larger digitisation agenda. Although the AI strategies of the countries in the region are still at an early stage, the existence of national intent will allow progress in terms of both national and regional regulation, with the potential for these countries to become AI powers.

As a discipline in its own right, public administration has a variety of interpretations in European countries, which can be found at the intersection of three traditional disciplines: law, policy and management. The Central European region, such as the Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia), is of particular interest for the analysis of the state of public administration research, as it only came to the fore after the change of regime. The present study undertakes a bibliometric analysis of the publications in the field of public administration in these countries for the period 2011-2020. The publications studied were indexed in the Scopus citation database, and the tools used for the analysis were the Sci Val research support platform and the vosViewer bibliometric analysis software. The results show the different orientations, with Hungarian and Polish authors approaching the discipline from a legal perspective, while Czech and Slovak authors take a management perspective. Regional journals and conference publications dominate in terms of publication places. In terms of co-authorship, regional partners also stand out, while cooperation with Western European countries takes the form of fewer but better cited publications.

Latin American countries begin to develop their national-level cyber policy including their cybersecurity strategy. The paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of the strategy development processes in six Latin American countries including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The methodology is based on a mixed approach. For the quantitative analysis, the National Cyber Security Index and UNIDIR Cyber Policy Portal were used, while for the qualitative analysis a document analysis was carried out on the national strategies. Analysing national data based on the NCSI, Chile stands out overall, however, the country is still in the initial phase in terms of digital and essential service protection, personal data protection and cyber crisis management. Brazil’s position is interesting, standing at 3rd place overall, being the most targeted country by cyberattacks in the region. Brazil stands out in terms of cyber threat analysis and military cyber operations. Based on the document analysis, Chile and Argentina have a more holistic cybersecurity strategy, including factors such as cybersecurity education, cybercrime detection, regulatory framework, and the aim to cooperate with international and industrial partners.

Siguiendo a los países desarrollados, los países latinoamericanos comienzan a prestar cada vez más atención al desarrollo de sus capacidades de ciberseguridad. Alineados con estos, cada vez más países de la región crean su propia estrategia nacional de ciberseguridad, estableciendo los principales objetivos e intereses y definiendo los principales desafíos y amenazas. El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar y comparar estas estrategias publicadas por los principales estados de la región. El artículo tiene un diseño de investigación basado en métodos mixtos. La metodología utilizada consiste en su mayor parte en el análisis de datos secundarios basados en bases de datos internacionales, así como el análisis sistemático de las estrategias mediante técnicas de análisis documental. Los resultados esperados, por lo tanto, tienden a resumir las principales estructuras de estas estrategias -incluyendo los principales intereses y desafíos que se definen con respecto a los estados estudiados- identificar patrones comunes de las estrategias considerando el contexto político e internacional de la región y hacer sugerencias para desarrollos futuros mediante la comparación de la situación actual y las principales estructuras de estos países.

The e-government as an ever-growing dimension of public administration gets more and more attention worldwide [10]. It is considered an essential tool nowadays to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness while providing better services to citizens. The study aims to investigate the egovernance research advancements and trends from the past 10 years. The empirical research is based on bibliometric data and defines the most active affiliations, top resource titles, the leading topic clusters, and research tracks from various angles. Data are collected restricted to the articles related to the “e-government” and “law or legislation” keywords between 2010 and 2019 November (a total of 513 articles). The data source is the Scopus citation database. Findings show a fragmented picture of the research field, dominated by computer science and in alignment with this, by conference proceedings. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows 14 different modules classified into a 3-dimension model based on research foci on the publications. These are managerial, political, and legal aspects. While based on density the leading keywords are interoperability, public administration, and social media. The latest trends show the emergence of natural language processing and smart city issues. Our research emphasizes the trends of e-government research as a leading research field in public administration studies. It is important to note, however, that the topic is rather multidisciplinary. It is important to see the correlations between the academic basic research activities and countries' practical e-government implications.

Jelen tanulmány a Halmai Péter akadémikus szerkesztésében 2019-ben megjelent „Tagállami integrációs modellek. A gazdasági kormányzás új dimenziói az Európai Unióban” című kötettel foglalkozik. Általános képet nyújt a kötetről, majd a központi témaként szolgáló európai uniós gazdasági integráció nemzetközileg magasan jegyzett szakirodalmáról ad bibliometriai elemzést. Ezen elemzés célja rávilágítani, hogy a kötet témájául választott kérdéskör aktuális és releváns, a benne közölt fejezetek pedig éppen a kellő mélységben, érdekes esettanulmányokkal bővítve járja körbe a legfontosabb kérdéseket és kihívásokat. A recenzió ezt követően tér rá a kötet egyes fejezeteinek tételes ismertetésére, végül pedig ezek alapján vonja le a következtetéseket.

A társadalomtudományok hazai oktatói-kutatói teljesítményértékelésében meghatározó szerepet töltenek be az akadémiai bizottságok MTA doktori eljárások habitusvizsgálatához kialakított folyóiratlistái. A nemzetközi felsőoktatási piac felé nyitni szándékozó intézmények rangsorokban elfoglalt helyét ugyanakkor a nemzetközi indexált adatbázisok folyóiratlistái alapján mért kumulált publikációs teljesítményekre alapozva számítják. A tanulmány az MTMT2 adatbázisán azt tárja fel, hogy mekkora különbségek adódnak az egyéni publikációs és idézettségi teljesítmények megítélésében e kétféle lista alapján való értékelésében és az eltérés bemutatásán túl elemzi azok valószínűsíthető követelményeit – mind egyéni, mind intézményi szinten. Végül lehetséges megoldási alternatívákat is megfogalmaz a kialakult helyzet feloldására.

Purpose The European Union’s (EU’s) Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) has gained increasing attention as the EU faces new threats and challenges from its surroundings. As part of its CSDP, the EU currently runs six military operations and 11 civilian missions. This paper aims to analyze the EU’s social media use of four CSDP missions and operations running in two regions: in the Mediterranean and in the Western Balkans. Design/methodology/approach The paper has a mixed-methods research design. A computer-assisted content analysis was conducted to extract data on the Twitter communication of the chosen missions, followed by a quantitative analysis on which elements of the EU’s strategic communication can be identified. The timeframe for investigation was set up between 1 January 2019 and 31 August 2020. Findings Patterns of communication cannot be recognized either based on regional or on the civilian-military division. The strong connectivity with the accounts of other European actors and/or institutions is striking. This study finds that the concept of local ownership can be observed only at European level, local populations of the host countries are usually not targeted. Even though several elements of the EU’s strategic communication are recurrent on the missions’ official Twitter account, Twitter communication seems to be an intra-European communication tool. Originality/value The research revealed the main features of the Twitter communication of four CSDP missions. Due to the software-assisted methodology, measuring influence score was made possible, a feature that was still missing from academic literature regarding this specific area, the EU’s CSDP.

A hadtudomány fejlődése során – specifikus jellegéből adódóan – mindig is kiemelt szerepet töltött be a tudományok között. Egyszerre szolgálja adott állam innovációs potenciálját, valamint az állam katonai feladatainak tervezését. A nemzetközi tudományos versenyképesség növeléséhez érdemes megvizsgálni a külföldi hadtudománnyal foglakozó katonai (védelmi) egyetemeket és akadémiákat tudományos teljesítményük és kutatási portfóliójuk alapján. Az empirikus elemzést 12 egyetem bevonásával végeztük, a nemzetközileg magasan jegyzett (Scimago Journal Rankingindexált) közleményeik alapján vetettük össze publikációs teljesítményüket. A vizsgált intézmények között találtunk olyanokat, amelyek nagy eséllyel pályázhatnának a QS World University Rankings és a Times Higher Education nemzetközi egyetemi rangsorokon való szereplésre is, míg a hazai hadtudományi kutatások – elsősorban a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetem dominanciájával – ezen versenyképes intézményekkel való együttműködések által növelhetné saját teljesítményét.

A direkt finanszírozási publikációs modell a tudományos közösség közvetlen jutalmazási rendszere, amelyben a szerzők megjelent tanulmányaik után részesülnek jutalmazásban. A díjazás mértéke függ az adott közlemény megjelenési helyének indexáltságától. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy a nemzetközi gyakorlatban nemzeti szinten alkalmazott publikációs modell kialakításának lehetőségeit vizsgálja hazai kontextusban. A modell legnagyobb előnye, hogy a jutalmazás egyéni szinten történik, így elosztása intézménytől független. Az elemzésben a nemzetközi és hazai jó gyakorlatok bemutatása után a 2019. évi Scopus által indexált magyar vonatkozású közleményeket - összesen 12281 darab - vizsgáljuk tudománymetriai indikátorok mentén. A dolgozatban kettő modell szerint mértünk, az A-modellben a magyar szerzők arányát, a B-modellben a közlemény alapján járó összeget vettünk figyelembe. Eredményeink az orvos- és élettudományi, valamint a műszaki tudományterületek nemzetközi versenyképességét mutatják, itt nagy arányban találunk Q1- és Q2-es magasan jegyzett közleményeket. Emellett a többszerzőség és a folyóirat-közlemények dominanciáját látjuk. A javasolt publikációs modell a hazai kontextusra implementálható, elemzésünk nyomán nagyjából 6 milliárd forint ráfordítással.

The analysis is based on the Scopus citation database. Empirical findings demonstrate that Business and Economics researchers in these countries follow a wellestablished 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 secondary line, while Slovakia and Romania are lagging behind.

The performance-based publication model is a direct rewarding system among the scientific community, referring to the reward that authors receive for their publications. The amount of the reward depends on the citation index level of the journal in which a given article is published. Based on international best practices, the paper aims to investigate the possibilities of the implementation of this publication model within the Hungarian context. The model’s main advantage is that rewarding takes place at the individual level so its distribution is independent from the institutional level. After reviewing the best practices used in various countries worldwide, an empirical analysis is carried out which is based on the total number of publications in Hungary in 2019 indexed by Scopus. It means a total of 12,281 publications, based on scientometric indicators. Two models are used, model A considers the Hungarian co-authorship rate of the publications while model B takes the amount of the reward into account based on the publication without the co-authorship rate. Results show that in Hungary, the disciplines of Medicine and Engineering are the most competitive at an international level where we find a high proportion of highly indexed Q1 and Q2 publications. Beside these, results demonstrate the dominance of multiple authorship and journal articles in the research sample. As a conclusion, the proposed publication model could be implemented within the Hungarian context, based on the analysis, its estimated cost would be around 6 billion Hungarian forints.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related political and economic crisis had serious negative effects on most Mediterranean countries. The paper aims to examine the measures introduced by the governments concerned to ease the crisis both from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. The impact of the activities of similar purpose of the institutions of the European Union are also the focus of the research, with emphasis on the state-aid framework of the European Commission aimed at supporting the economy, and the unfortunate speech of 12 March, 2020 of ECB president Christine Lagarde, which endangered the euro and caused an extreme increase in the sovereign spreads in most of the countries concerned, endangering their banking systems. The main expected results of the research are as follows. Based on the analysis of legislative measures and communications, an evaluation of the relevant actors (governments and EU institutions) will be established. This will be supplemented with the potential implications of the research for future decision-makers concerning how they can learn from how the crisis in these countries was (mis)treated.

In today’s digitized world, where most of our activities are related to online platforms, the information security has become more essential than ever. Most countries have launched national strategies for the implementation of cyber security. In these, the education and training of information security professionals get particular roles. The National Cyber Security Centre created a common framework for cyber security education in the United Kingdom for the universities offering degrees in information security. The aim of this paper is to examine and compare the British cyber security degrees. The first chapter examines and compares the British universities and degrees from a theoretical aspect, including the necessity of these programs. The second chapter examines the degrees from several aspects based on the data of the Scopus database, with a special focus on the thematic modules, and the academic activities of the 1,650 examined university instructors.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the mechanisms behind the development of e-democracy. The contrasting cases of Italy and Hungary are selected as the case studies. With the development of new information and communication technology, more and more elements of domestic politics have been transferred to the internet-based platforms. As a response to the deep financial, economic and political crisis that Europe endured over the period 2010-2015 and as a result of the disappointment with traditional parties, new political movements and parties were created. In this paper, the Italian Five Star Movement (M5S) and the Hungarian Lehet Más a Politika (“Politics Can Be Different”) and Momentum are examined to trace the specific mechanisms that led to their establishment.Design/methodology/approachThe research is based on mixed method approach, using primary and secondary data to identify and examine mechanisms conducive to the emergence of e-democracy. It uses quantitative analysis along with discourse analysis and social media analysis. The research is based on the analysis of respective parties’ social media communication. The social media analysis has been carried out by the SentiOne social listening software within the time frame of February 2018 and the end of 2019. Along different types of democracy measurements, Italy and Hungary have been analysed between 2017 and 2019.FindingsThe paper identifies the key preconditions for the emergence of e-democracy. These are freedom, gender gap, inequality and corruption. It also then elaborates on mechanisms, such as social media activity and citizen engagement, which lead to the emergence of e-democracy. The thesis of this article is that in Hungary (compared to Italy), elements of high-quality standards for a democracy are still missing to establish a successful political party which uses the sustainable concept for e-democracy. In Hungary, the examined parties use social media only as media representation without exploiting the possibilities lying in social media platforms. They mostly rely on these networking sites during elections and no strong sentiments can be identified in their communication. Italy is a more developed democracy where online platforms are used to engage citizens regularly. M5S actively communicates through these platforms, which is reflected in the amount of comments and strong social media activity even out of election period.Originality/valueThe originality of the paper is the social media analysis to test the use of social media in the parties’ political communication. The paper defines key factors and mechanisms concerning the establishment of e-democracy through inductive analysis of two contrasting cases. Italy and Hungary are two member states of the European Union (EU) with different development, their current preparation and situation regarding e-democracy give insights on how the quality of democracy determines their attitude towards cyber parties. While Italy being a founding member of the EU has become an established democracy, Hungary, after the transition, has developed into a new democracy.

The use of international university rankings is an internationally recognized way of evaluating higher education systems and institutions. The QS ranking is one of the best-known among them, and it ranks institutions along six indicators. This study has two objectives. We first examine how the QS ranking and the university rankings derived from the variables obtained from the Scopus/SciVal database by the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) ranking procedure relate to each other. We find that the QS ranking and the ranking obtained with the Scopus/SciVal data show strong similarity. The second goal was to test the place of the countries on the ranking. A comparison of universities from countries on the QS ranking led to the conclusion that the top-ten ranked countries were mainly smaller Western European countries as well as two city-states from the Far East. Our analysis can be considered somewhat unique as the method for calculating the data determining the QS rankings is not always available on the QS website, so the ranking cannot be repeated. In addition, the ranking results are only available once a year, so only the results of the most recent QS measurement are available between the two dates.

The most re­cent guideline of the Hun­garian Ac­cred­it­a­tion Com­mit­tee about the ap­plic­a­tions sub­mit­ted by uni­versity pro­fess­ors sub­ject to the re­quire­ments pub­lished in July 2019 entered into force on 1 Septem­ber 2019. This doc­u­ment es­tab­lishes new gen­eral min­imum pub­lic­a­tion re­quire­ments for ap­plic­ants, sup­ple­men­ted by spe­cial re­quire­ments for the spe­cific areas. These re­quire­ments were ne­ces­sit­ated by changes in the in­ter­na­tional aca­demic paradigm, which en­cour­ages the issue of Q1 and Q2 level pub­lic­a­tions. The pur­pose of this paper is to ex­am­ine com­pli­ance with these re­quire­ments by uni­versity pro­fess­ors who re­ceived their title in the past three years. The find­ings show that only 23 per cent com­ply fully with the gen­eral min­imum re­quire­ments, with a 40 per cent full com­pli­ance with the sup­ple­ment­ary re­quire­ments of the field of eco­nom­ics and busi­ness, and a 10 per cent in the field of so­cial sci­ences.

The QS rankings is one the most popular among these, which evaluates institutions based on six indicators. This paper has two aims. First, we investigate how the QS rankings and alternative rankings based on data from SciVal correlate with each other. Our findings show a strong correlation. Our second goal was to examine the Hungarian higher education institutions on this QS university list according to the old and new rankings. With the exception of one university, the Hungarian institutions show high stability in these rankings.

Hungary has a so-called ‘multi-stage’ formalized hier archy that clearly defines the steps how to achieve the highest full professor rank. After a theoretical section where the different career scripts – such as Top Researcher, Top Lecturer and Top Manager are presented, an empirical analysis is carried out. The sample consists of 327 professors. Results point out that there are different research patterns and a significant division between disciplines rather preferring the international (SJR) publication or the publishing of monographs. Concerning the career paths, we found the number of years until the PhD degree ranging between 6–13 years, while the habilitation is between 15.5–22 years and full professorship ranging between 22–27 years. The gap in the number of years among disciplines blurs for full professorship.

Publish or Perish places researchers under increasing pressure, but 20 percent of the publications receive more than 80 percent of the citations according to Garfield’s Law of Concentration. The international indexing databases Scopus and the Web of Science try to index all the relevant publications. Being indexed by these databases must be a priority for Hungarian journals. The present study aims to analyse the journals on the domestic lists of the IX Section of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. We use descriptive statistical analysis to explore the most important indicators. Our results show that 80 percent of the journals have their own website, half of them are published on time, one fifth have an archiving policy and one tenth have a code of ethics. On average, 42 months have passed since the publication of the most recent issue. These indicators depend on the quality categories, and there is a significant correlation between the category, the number of papers and the number of citations per paper.

The present study aims to give examples for the performance evaluation of different universities from abroad which may help the Hungarian universities to create their best practices. As we can observe different task and position structures in Hungary compared to the Western examples, this analysis aims only to call the general awareness on this issue. The distribution of the tasks along the educational, research and scientific organizational profiles works efficiently based on the given examples, but this is represented only at a limited level in the Hungarian system.

Napjaink egyik legelterjedtebb technológiája a gamifikáció, melyet világszerte számos területen alkalmaznak. Empirikus kutatásunkat a szekunder kutatásunk és irodalmi áttekintésünk eredményeire alapoztuk. Ezek során informatikus és nem informatikus alapszakos (BA) hallgatók technológiabefogadási hajlandóságát vizsgáltuk a Kahoot! applikációval való interakciójuk során. Kérdőívünket n=86 kitöltést követően a Technológia Elfogadási Modell (TAM) elemei mentén értékeltük. Eredményeink rámutattak, hogy a pozitív hozzáállás, az applikáció egyszerű használata és a jó tapasztalat egyaránt hozzájárulnak a hallgatók elégedettségéhez, ami tovább növeli technológiahasználati szándékukat.

A mai digitalizált világban, amelyben az ügyintézés jelentős része az online felületekhez köthető, az információs rendszerek biztonsága még hangsúlyosabbá vált. A kiberbiztonság megvalósítására több országban állami szinten készítettek átfogó stratégiát, amelyben kiemelkedő szerep jut a kiberbiztonsági szakemberek képzésének. Az Egyesült Királyságban működő Nemzeti Kiberbiztonsági Központ egységes képzési programot alkotott meg azon egyetemek számára, amelyek kiberbiztonságot oktatnak. A dolgozat célja, hogy a brit egyetemek kiberbiztonsági képzéseit vizsgálja és hasonlítsa össze egymással. Az első nagyobb fejezet elméleti megközelítésből szemléli eme brit egyetemeket és azok képzéseit, valamint ez utóbbiak szükségességét. A második fejezet pedig különböző szempontok szerint vizsgálja a képzések tematikáit, kurzusait, tananyagait, valamint a vizsgálatra került 1650 brit oktató tudományos tevékenységét – elsősorban a Scopus adatai alapján. --- Research Activities of Academics Involved in Cyber Security Master’s Degree Programs in the United Kingdom: a Comparative Analysis In today’s digitized world, where most of our activities are related to online platforms, information security has become more essential than ever.

The use of gamification in higher education has increased considerably over the past decades. An empirical study was conducted in Hungary with two groups of students to investigate their behaviour while interacting with Kahoot! The results were analyzed based on the technology acceptance model. They indicate that the positive attitude, good experience and ease of availability contributed to improve student performance which strengthened the intention to use the application. Besides these, the perceived utility was positively influenced by the ease of use as consequence.
