MTMT - a National CRIS System in Hungary

Abstract

MTMT (Magyar Tudományos Művek Tára / Hungarian Science Bibliography) is a legally mandated database collecting scholarly output in Hungary. MTMT is not a full fledged CRIS system and does presently not offer CERIF-compliant outputs. However, it partially embodies CRIS functionality. MTMT is a database of scholarly outputs -- that is, publications and patents -- but it does list citations for the publications as well. In order to correctly describe publications and link them to authors, institutions and projects, it contains tables/data on Hungarian researchers, institutions (possibly with departments and groups within), journals, projects etc.

The talk provides an overview of the software solution, the data content, and usage of the database. Though further development of the database is constrained by our resources, we are interested in discussing possibilities.
