Open access in Hungary

In 2008 several academic libraries founded the Hungarian Open Access Repositories (HUNOR) consortium.

Journals

Several editorial boards of scholarly journals in Hungary have decided to publish in open access form, allowing readers to access articles for free, and also to freely reuse the information. Typically, the intention is to foster further research, to advance scholarship and the production of knowledge, and to encourage reuse of research without the obstacle of costly access. Among the open access journals produced in Hungary are the following titles:

• Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae (ISSN 1217-8837, ISSN 2064-2474)
• Biomechanica Hungarica (ISSN 2060-0305, ISSN 2060-4475)
• Hungarian Journal of Industry and Chemistry (ISSN 2450-5102)
• Information Bulletin on Variable Stars (ISSN 0374-0676, ISSN 1587-2440)
• Jelentés és Nyelvhasználat (ISSN 2064-9940)
• Névtani Értesítő (ISSN 0139-2190, ISSN 2064-7484)
