The Matrica Project aims at the development of (1) a reference database which contains data from Hungarian journals of social sciences and humanities and (2) a framework for data processing. A list of scientific periodicals published in Hungary has been compiled, and the electronic version of their volumes has been collected. Periodicals which were not available in any machine readable format have been converted into a structured, computationally interpretable form. The database will contain references of articles created in the last 5-10 years. The online editing interface allows to continuously expand the database. The database is helpful for scientometricians, librarians, and researchers who want to keep track of their references.
