Abstract

There are two main branches of geography at the international level and in Hungary: human and physical geography, but the relationship between these two differs significantly in different regions. Physical geography tends to use the methods adopted and applied in the natural sciences, while human geography is increasingly connected to (other) social sciences. In this study, we examined the scientific publications of authors institutionally belonging to the two branches of geography in Hungary using quantitative methods. Physical geography publications can be characterized by more authors and higher international embeddedness than human geography publications, which only started to change in the last 3–4 years. Moreover, the latter were published in a large proportion in other domestic (social science) journals, which indicates a higher degree of connection with related social sciences.
