Currently, one of the strategic goals of Prosperitas is to expand the geographical distribution of the authors of its studies through authorship diversification. As a result, between 2022 and Q1 2025, the proportion of non-Hungarian authors grew dynamically, with the lowest value recorded in the case of the 2022 and 2023 special issues. However, this rate increased to 86% in the case of the 2024 special issue.
As regards the geographic distribution of the 50 non-Hungarian authors in the examined period between 2022 and Q1 2025, it can be stated that Prosperitas published studies by 17 African and 23 Asian authors, as well as by 8 authors from the European Union and by 2 authors from the EU/Asia region.
