Digital Academic Platforms in CEE
Case Studies from Hungary and Slovakia - insights, typology, metrics, and data on presence-related findings for universities with religious affiliation
Absztrakt
Present study evaluates the prevalence and academic usage of digital academic platforms (DAPs) exemplified by certain Universities across Hungary and Slovakia, assessing how these platforms are integrated into academic practices and highlighting certain variations in technological adoption within the CEE region. After the setting up of the relevant typology and by utilizing a dual-methodological approach, the regional e-visibility of the leadership of certain faculties is examined, while specific user motivations are also explored in a narrower sense through domestic questionnaire-based studies within Hungary. Firstly, by analyzing the use of certain academic social networking sites (ASNSs); author profiles linked to publishers; and databases without social functions at given universities and juxtaposing these with the experiences of Slovak institutions, the research highlights how these platforms are utilized to enhance research visibility and academic networking. Secondly, findings are meant to
indicate that while digital academic platforms are widely valued for facilitating scholarly communication in Hungary, localized academic cultures and individual motivations significantly shape their application.
