Open access to scholarly communication in Hungary has developed in recent years through digital repositories and academic publishers, among other means. In 2008 several academic libraries founded the Hungarian Open Access Repositories (HUNOR) consortium.[1]

Journals

Several editorial boards of scholarly journals in Hungary have decided to publish in open access form,[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]

Repositories

There are a number of collections of scholarship in Hungary housed in digital open access repositories.[2] They contain journal articles, book chapters, data, and other research outputs that are free to read.
