Lecturers who want to be promoted to a professorship need to work hard. In addition to accumulating a minimum of 850 credits, they must also publish in reputable international journals scientific articles on which they are the lead author, meaning that they must fill a dominant role while conducting the research.

Meeting such requirements is not easy for some academics. If they take the right path, they must spend time and money. Academics that have not fulfilled the publication standard in reputable international journals or the Scopus index will meet with difficulty.
