Three of our journals win ‘MTMT Qualified journal’ title
Among the nine faculties of the Eötvös Loránd University, the journals of the Faculty of Humanities were the first to achieve such a rating.

The Repository Certification Committee of the MTMT (Magyar Tudományos Művek Tára = Hungarian Science Bibliography - the database of Hungarian scientific publications) issued certificates to three scientific online journals affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities based on the submitted certification requests.

This recognition is considered outstanding both within the university and nationwide.

Currently, only fourteen academic journals have such certification, three of which are affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities. 

The qualification protocol is used on journals’ publishing practices that either publish in online database-based software, are open access or delayed open access. During the procedure, the journal's quality control process (peer review) and the practice of informing potential authors and readers are examined. The purpose of the certification is to support the work of the editorial offices, to promote the uniform operation of domestic web journals, which also ensures the automatic data uploading of the bibliographic data of the articles into MTMT.

The recognition is due to the outstanding and persistent professional work of the editorial board of Lejana, RussianStudies.hu and Távol-Keleti Tanulmányok, to the scientific research of the authors, as well as to the support of Edit Zelei Markó-Markechné the FoH faculty coordinator responsible for strengthening, increasing the prestige and visibility of the journals affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities, and to the cooperation of the Education and Research Support Department of the ELTE University Library and Archives.

We heartily congratulate the editorial board of the certified journals, as well as the authors published in the journals, and wish them further success in their scientific work.
