^# When registering for elective courses you will find that they are advertised under several codes. The codes end in 4-8. Choose the code with the ending that comes next in the order of your courses. When you take your first elective course take it as BTKD-NY-NPAN-4, then register for the second one under the code BTKD-NY-NPAN-5 and so on.  

^S Items marked by ^S may be claimed several times.

² Items marked by ² may be taken twice at most.

      * Publishing three research papers is compulsory, but more than three published items can be awarded credits. See the requirements for the compulsory publications on the Programme Information page. Choose the category (1, 2 or 3) for your publications based on the number of credits awarded for them. The number of credits awarded for a publication depends on the quality and volume of the work involved as well as on the forum where it is published. While individual variation is possible, the following descriptions offer a guideline:

Credits for research-based scientific (“tudományos”) publication

The publications are to be

•      entered into MTMT (Hungarian Scientific Bibliography) as “scientific” (in Hungarian: “tudományos”) publication (and not as educational work, popular science work, or other authorship, etc.);

•      based on either empirical or theoretical research;

•      journal articles or chapters in edited volumes;

•      in a language that the PhD staff is competent in;

•      at least 8 pages or (approx.) 20,000 characters with spaces.

Credits allocated:

  5   for a non-peer-reviewed publication;

10   for a peer-reviewed publication;

15   for a peer-reviewed publication in a Q1/Q2 journal, or in an edited volume published by an international publishing house that publishes Q1/Q2 journals, too (e.g., Routledge, John Benjamins, Cambridge University Press, Akadémiai Kiadó).

In the case of peer-reviewed publications, proof of the peer-review procedure of the journal/volume is to be provided (e.g., reference to it on the journal website, in the editor’s preface, in the introductory chapter of the volume).

The number of credits will be approved by the supervisor and the Director of Studies of the PhD program. Please check the process of claiming these credits below.

Articles or studies published in predatory journals or volumes are not awarded credits.

^## Please note that before entering credits for "elective" research activities, you first have to earn credits for the compulsory publications and conference papers.

** At least one conference presentation in English is compulsory.

^N This is not relevant in our programme.

*** In special cases the submission date may be extended by a year. Further information on suspending and extending studies can be found here.

⁺ The activities marked by ⁺ are to be interpreted in the following way:

Field practice:
Participation in the work/activity of institutions connected to the student’s research topic (e.g., school, language examination, policy making institutions, international organisations, etc.)
For the 5-credit unit, it is necessary to document at least 15 academic hours of involvement.
Research / Data compilation:
Doing research for the benefit of a fellow researcher (e.g., serving as a co-coder, entering data), participating in a research project outside the student’s dissertation research.
For the 5-credit unit, it is necessary to document at least 15 academic hours of involvement.
Research conducted abroad:
Research (empirical or library) conducted offline, outside Hungary or the students’ home country, possibly in the framework of a research grant or specific funding.
For the 10-credit unit, it is necessary to document at least 30 academic hours of involvement.
