STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has signed a license agreement with the Hungarian National Consortium for access to Elsevier's entire Backfile Collection for all Hungarian academic and research institutions.
The Backfile Collection on ScienceDirect provides access to journals back to the start of their publication. Access to this collection comes in addition to existing access to Elsevier's broadest journal offering, the Freedom Collection. As a result, all Hungarian researchers now have access to the entire range of articles available on ScienceDirect. Expanding access to scientific information fits the Hungarian National Consortium's strategic goal to improve the global research ranking position of Hungarian research, researchers and institutions.
ScienceDirect is a premier full-text scientific database offering journal articles and book chapters from more than 2,500 peer-reviewed journals and 11,000 books. The platform offers search and retrieval functionalities that enable users to work effectively in the knowledge discovery process. ScienceDirect aims to revolutionise the traditional format of the academic paper; interactive elements, enhanced online-readability, alerting services, and linking options to external datasets help researchers to build insights at the article level. ScienceDirect now has more than 15 million users; its wide reach makes it an ideal place for scientists to publish and disseminate their research findings.
