Abstract

University rankings take many features into account when making an evaluation. One of them are scientific achievements of employees. Based on the literature review, a research gap was identified and defined as the lack of comparisons of scientific achievements, at least in terms of citations, among research workers of economic universities in Poland. The aim of the article was defined as presenting and comparing the scientific achievements of employees of economic universities in Poland, using a set of bibliometric indicators as basis (number of publications, number of citations, h-index). The research shows that UE Wrocław employees have, on average, the most publications, Warsaw School of Economics (WSE) employees were quoted most often, the highest Hirsch index belongs to one of the UE Wrocław employees, while, on average, employees of WSE and UE Poznań have the highest rates.
