Web of Science (WoS) currently indexes five preprint servers: arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, chemRxiv, preprints.org. The five repositories contain about 2 million records, however twenty more repositories will be indexed in the near future.
All records in the product contain standard bibliographic metadata such as author, abstract and keywords. The extended metadata includes the affiliation of the author, sponsor information and references. Version control metadata is not included in the database.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, in 1773, Pope Clement XIII dissolved the Jesuit order, accelerating the process of the university's transfer to the state. Between 1635 and 1773, many distinguished Jesuits of great knowledge taught at our university, leaving a lasting mark on the history of the institution. In March our feature is on Ferenc Weiss, one of the founders of the Buda University Observatory and a pioneer of engineering education in Hungary.
Ferenc Weiss was born in 1717 in Nagyszombat. He entered the Jesuit order in 1733 and after completing his studies he taught in several Jesuit grammar schools in the Highlands. From 1753 he taught mathematics at the University of Nagyszombat, and in 1755 he opened an institute for the most talented young Jesuits, the first institute for the training of mathematical teachers in Hungary. He participated in the construction of the university's observatory in Nagyszombat and became its director in 1761. After the university's move to Buda, he played a key role in the construction of the new university observatory in the Royal Palace of Buda, alongside Miksa Hell and János Sajnovics. From 1756 he published his astronomical and meteorological observations regularly. Ferenc Weiss died in 1785 in Buda, and donated his books to the University Library. His meteorological notes from 1763 to 1766 are currently preserved in the library's manuscript collection.

The recognition is considered outstanding both within the university and nationwide.
The Repository Certification Committee of the MTMT (Magyar Tudományos Művek Tára = Hungarian Science Bibliography – the database of Hungarian scientific publications) issued certificates to two more scientific online journals affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities based on the submitted certification requests.
Our newly MTMT Qualified Journals:
Currently, only sixteen academic journals are certified.
The qualification protocol is intended to certify journals’ publishing practices published in online database software, using the Open Access or delayed Open Access publishing model. The process examines the journal's peer review process and the practice of informing potential authors and readers. The purpose of the certification is to support the work of the editorial offices, to promote the development of a standardised operation of national web journals, which also ensures the automatic uploading of the articles' bibliographic data into MTMT.
The recognition is due to the outstanding and persistent professional work of the editorial board of Dissertationes Archaeologicae ex Instituto Archaeologico Universitatis de Rolando Eötvös nominatae and Névtani Értesítő, to the scientific research of the authors, as well as to the support of the librarians of the ELTE Faculty of Humanities Library and Katalin Jakab, MTMT administrator of the ELTE FoH Institute of Hungarian Linguistics and Finno-Ugric Studies, and to the University Library and Archives.
Our heartfelt congratulations to the editorial board of the qualified journals and to the authors published in the journals, and we wish them continued success in their academic work.
