Users of NBs and their expectations:
Hungarian Academic Publication and
Citation Database (MTMT)
Sources (respecting disc fileds of Humanities
and Social Sciences)
3.
Special MTMT data elements in
comparison with data used in standard
bib description
1. Hungarian Academic Publication
and Citation Database (MTMT)

bibliographical data of researchers’,
professors’ publications and citations
Publication
Based on



Citation
Bibliographical data
But the database itself is not a universal bibliograpy
system
Focuces particularly on
• Hungarica data – restricted to the publications of
contemporary, learned „Hungarus” authors
• Personal and institutional research publication
output
• Citations should be collected as well
Some specific expectations
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
up-to-date register of publications & citations
data-entering is carried out by registered users
(researchers) and operators
authentic, verified
a tool for monitoring and mapping Hungarian research
publication output
display options: by persons, institutions (affiliation
must be attached) and so many other views
serves as a basic bibliometric aid
data should be re-usable in R&D information systems
Bibliography Commettee is responsible for metadata
improvements
A personal publication list

Launched in 2009 (by bringing together
several STM databases)
Members are:
• Independent individuals
• Persons affiliated with organizations:
• research institutions of HAS
• most outstanding research universities
• other universities
• colleges, hospitals
• government bodies
• for-profit organizations are interested as well

2. Sources for populating

Importing (WoS, Scopus, Medline etc.) – main sorurces in STM fields; but less
important in AHSS fields

Manual input (typing), one by one (by authors, operators) is the
main way of uploading

 technological gap: re-use of quality library
metadata is not yet implemented

BUT: large-scale development is in progress,
improvements can be expected

So far NBs are used for manual/visual verification of
bib data; for adding missing data etc.
In future: automatic or semi-automatic linking, datatransfer and verification processes will take place

Difficulties: analytics
(AHSS fields)


Analytical entries:
•
•
No suitable global tools for book chapters
nor for articles published in nat. journals
In Hu:
•
•
•
HUMANUS – covers A&H, some SS fields, contains
analytics on books and journals
MATARKA – CC (TOC) service for Hu journals
The two services (+ EPA=e-journals)
partially overlap
Can be regarded as some extensions of the regular HuNB
Difficulties: citation level
(AHSS fields)





Discovering, collecting and filling in citations
– lies upon the shoulders of the researchers
One need much time
Some help: scholar.google; Google Scholar
Citation
Initiatives for national citation indexes
(Serbia; India – restricted; HU – pilot project)
Developing a useful joint service would be
welcome to facilitate recording citations
3. MTMT data elements –
characteristics
Name: traced in the case of a registered person;
otherwise uncontrolled
Name (from authority file), AAP
Affiliation
Taxonomies: (1) Form; (2) Genre; (3) Character by intended audience
Adding authors, authorship
information (in bib record)
MTMT controlled name (attached from authority file)
Name (whatever form) << names from external sources are coming over here
Authorship portion
Affiliations
• Relator terms are used instead of the statement of responsibility
• Number of attached authors are not limited
• All authors and corporate collaborators can be listed but are not displayed
in default setting
Affiliation
On personal level
On publication level
(two inst. are sharing
the same publ.)

Special metadata requirements
for journals
So far:
 Impact factors by
years
 Peer reviewed/not pr
 These are rather
standards suitable for
STM fields
There is a need for developing other methods for verification the real
scientific/scholarly nature of a publication.
Linking to NB Periodicals would be essential.
Bibliometric implementations




Automated counting, sorting of
publications and citations
Summarizing IF values
Hirsch index
Display options for bibliometric data are
available
Bibliometrics
Bibliometric data for Katalin É. Kiss
Why to be interlinked with NBs?

Data creation and processing: re-using qualitative
and authentic data from NBs

Analytical entries (tables of contents) can be also usable

Verification (standard, permanent links, data linking,
open identifiers are significant)
In turn, NBs can benefit from the early stages of
metadata life-cycle – data often appear first in
MTMT, swift data can be re-used, completed,
enriched
Specific metadata added by users and/or operators
of the academic bibliography can enrich the NB.
