The ELTE University Library and Archives is launching an online information session for editors of ELTE journals on how to increase the international visibility of their journals. The following topics are included in the planned programme: strategies for meeting journal indexing criteria, recommendation for the order of database registrations, presentation of an online self-checking spreadsheet summarising the criteria for selecting journals for inclusion in databases, ethical publishing, authorship issues.

New volume, "Practices of Research Data Management: Established procedures and pilot projects" has been published by the Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and it is available online for free.

As of January 1st 2023, the L'Harmattan Digital Database will be available under a new name and at a new location that is the L'Harmattan Open Access és Archive platform.

The quota for fully open journals (258) in the 2022 agreement with Springer has recently been exhausted on the 6th of December 2022. The possibility to publish in the publisher's corresponding hybrid journals is not affected by this exhaustion, authors are welcome to continue submitting manuscripts to these journals, and all APC applications received may be approved.

In the autumn 2021, in response to the recent trends in scientific communication, the University Library and Archives of Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE EKL) conducted a survey on the management of research data. The target audience of the survey included all lecturers, PhD students and PhD candidates at ELTE, in total about 6,850 university citizens. The survey results have been published in the journal titled Scientific and Technical Information (Tudományos és Műszaki Tájékoztatás). The article is now available on the STI homepage.
