In Hungary, the highest and most prestigious scientific qualification isconsidered to be the Doctor of Science (DSc) title being awarded by theHungarian Academy of Sciences. The academic performance indicators of the DSctitle are of high importance in the evaluation of individuals' researchperformance not only when a researcher applies for obtaining a DSc title, butalso during promotions and appointments at universities, and in the case of theevaluation of applications for scientific titles and degrees, and theassessment of applications for funding. In the Section of Earth Sciencesencompassing nine related disciplines, rather than carrying out astraightforward bibliometric analysis, the performance indicators were designedas a result of a consensual agreement between leading academicians, each ofwhom represented a particular discipline. Therefore, the minimum values of theindicators, required to be fulfilled if one is applying for a DSc title, do notadequately reflect the actual discipline-specific performance of researchers.This problem may generate tension between researchers during the evaluationprocess. The main goal of this paper is to recalibrate the minimum values offour major performance indicators by taking the actual discipline-specificdistance ratios into account. In addition, each minimum value will be definedby employing integer and fractional counting methods as well. The researchoutcome of this study can provide impetus for the Section of Earth Sciences tooptimize the minimum values of the DSc title performance indicators by takingthe specifics of each discipline into account. Because academic performanceindicators are also employed in other Eastern European countries in theevaluation of individuals' research performance, the methods used in that papercan be placed into a wider geographical context.
