According to the MTMT (the Hungarian Scientific Bibliography Database), Hungarian researchers published nearly 28,000 journal articles in 2021 in the international and national journals, with funding from the scientific committees of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) dealing with the humanities and social sciences. As the proportion of articles indexed in WoS and Scopus is low, many publications by scientists in the humanities and social sciences are not taken into account as performance of the funding indicators in case of universities maintained by foundations and churches. To change this unfavourable situation, it would be good to introduce DOI identifiers for journals supported by HAS, followed by other WoS and Scopus criteria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social scientists rarely have the opportunity to replicate a representative empirical study on a basically identical sample in a relatively short time, thereby confirming the validity or, conversely, invalidity of the first results. Within the framework of the comprehensive EFOP-3.3.3-VEKOP-16-2016-00001 "Museum and Library Developments for All" project, the "My Library" programme, implemented under the auspices of the Szabó Ervin Library, Budapest, made it possible to assess the digital competences of library professionals by two successive surveys. Both studies are considered representative for public libraries. The number of participants in the 2017 survey was 1786 from various municipal libraries, while it was1868 in the 2019 survey. As a result, an extremely rich data set is now available to gain an accurate understanding of digital skills of library professionals, to identify areas for improvement, and even to organize targeted professional extension training.
