The Hungarian National Scientific Bibliography (MTMT) andMTMT2

Abstract

HAS created the Hungarian National Scientific Bibliography (in Hungarian abbreviated as MTMT) in 2009 from its own sources. Co-founders included the Hungarian Accreditation Committee, the Hungarian Rectors' Conference, the National Scientific Research Fund (OTKA) and the National Graduate Council, later the initiative was joined by Hungarian universities, colleges and health institutions. Under the New Széchenyi Plan’s Social Renewal Operational Programme (SROP) a sum of HUF 308 million was envisaged for completing the works on building the national scientific bibliographic database. Under the two-year project the bibliographic data of works of scientific relevance, publishedby the staff members of Hungarian higher education institutions, academic and other research programmes, in the period between 2007 and 2014 will become accessible as a whole. The database will, however, be much more comprehensive, really important data will go back toas far as 1990. The work is coordinated by the Library and Information Centre of HAS, which will become significantly upgraded, partly due to this project, and will be transformed into a 21st-century modern information centre, in addition to keeping its traditional role.
