New MTMT Qualified Journal

Fordítástudomány (Translation Studies) is a Hungarian-language, peer-reviewed academic journal, published by the Department of Translation and Interpreting, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary. Launched in 1999.

The aim of Fordítástudomány is to create a professional forum of international importance in Hungarian for a dynamically developing, interdisciplinary academic research field, not only in Hungary but also in neighbouring regions. The journal takes the broadest possible view of translation studies. It provides a systematic and theoretical approach to all aspects of translation and interpreting practice. In addition to general translation theory studies, it devotes considerable space to descriptive translation research, empirical studies based on parallel corpora, interpreting research, terminology research and translator and interpreter training. It monitors conferences and publications in translation studies and related fields, and publishes longer analytical reports.

Fordítástudomány has played a significant role in Hungarian translation studies over the past 25 years, creating a forum for the professional and academic exchange of information and research results necessary for the existence of a well-established discipline.

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.

Currently, 27 journals have this qualification, and 7 of them are affiliated with the ELTE Faculty of Humanities.

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.
