Hungarian National Scientific Bibliography

Abstract

The Hungarian National Scientific Bibliography (Magyar Tudományos Művek Tára - MTMT) is the national bibliographic database of scientific publications and citations.

MTMT promotes the use of DOIs and ORCID iDs. The platform offers tools and guidance to encourage researchers to utilize these identifiers.

MTMT supports the inclusion of DOIs for publications, ensuring persistent and unique identification of scholarly works. The system allows users to import bibliographic data using identifiers like DOI, PubMed ID, or Web of Science ID, streamlining data entry and enhancing accuracy.

MTMT encourages authors to register for an ORCID iD and link their ORCID iD to their MTMT profile, facilitating accurate attribution and integration across platforms. The system provides functionality for authors to authenticate their ORCID iD within MTMT, ensuring data integrity and reducing errors.

Background

MTMT has grown during the past few years, since many researchers and organisations have uploaded their publications (e.g. the whole content of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics Publications Database were uploaded into MTMT in 2014).

During this period, networks, databases, access to the Internet and novel methodologies have been improved, however sectorally and spatially in a rather uneven way. The level and density of IT structures show high variations between regions and counties of Hungary, however scientific research institution are well equipped in most regions and locations.

Upload of an applicants publication list with bibliographic data and citations is compulsory before starting an MTA doctorate evaluation process.

Objective(s)

To allow researchers and organisations to upload bibliographic data as well as citation lists of their publications.
