Presentation Outline

1. Users of NBs and their expectations: Hungarian Academic Publication and Citation Database (MTMT)

2. 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

Based on 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

Publication

Citation

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

MTMT: detailed citation list

MTMT: some figures 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, data-

transfer 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)

Name (whatever form) << names from external sources are coming over here

MTMT controlled name (attached from authority file)

AffiliationsAuthorship portion

• 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.)

Descriptive data Simplified, minimal level Enriched by specific

Form/Genre/Character IDs for works are wellcome So far only two kinds of

authorships were distinguished (author / editor) – some more terms will be added to the vocabulary

Types of authorshipsAuthorships

Form/genre controlled vocabulary Used to distinguish and classify research publication

products Bibliography Committee has finished recently the

harmonization, simplification of descriptors Term list includes descriptors for:

• Published academic works

• Art works (artistic, technical)

• Patents (Protection forms)

• Dissertations Implementation of the revised set of descriptors is

expected in autumn

Form/genre controlled vocabulary (types of publications) Term list contains appr. 70 descriptors Different types might be credited or waived in evaluation

processes They might be given different credit points

Forráskiadás Szövegkiadás, Forrás kommentált fordítása

Types of book chapters (a small detail)

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 processingcreation and processing: re-using qualitative

and authentic data from NBs Analytical entries (tables of contents) can be also usable VerificationVerification (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.
