PurposeThe recent financial crises and the economic problems caused by the pandemic highlight the importance of financial literacy (FL). Libraries have an essential role in developing informational literacy and promoting access to information. In this study the authors seek to identify, based on the published literature, in which areas and in what roles libraries engage in the development of FL, and what options are available for those who intend to set out in this direction in the near future.Design/methodology/approachThe basis of the research is a review of the literature, as comprehensive as possible, achieved by keyword- and discipline-focused searches run in the Library, Information Science and Technology Abstracts (LISTA), the Web of Science (WoS) and the Scopus database. At the beginning of the study, the initial list of results had 765 publications, but this number decreased significantly after removing duplicates and sorting the results. Finally, 138 publications were included in the analysis.FindingsLibraries engage in the development of FL mostly through their collections, with recommendations, through education, by organizing programs and through information service. Most successful methods do not require any specialized FL knowledge from librarians. Necessary competences are more related to organizational skills, cooperation with partners and creativity.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is based on publications which include the term financial culture, any of its synonyms, or broader or more specific terms and which are related to libraries in the manner described in the search strategy. The international literature databases chosen for the searches limited the scope of the articles available for inclusion.Originality/valueThe study summarizes the results in libraries related to FL from the past 10 years. There has been no other similar summary published recently applicable in practice.
This article offers an overview of the birth and the publication output of Across Languages and Cultures: A Multidisciplinary Journal for Translation and Interpreting Studies spanning the period between 2000 and the present day. It presents the circumstances and the aims of its creation and, based on the results of a thorough bibliometric analysis, it reveals how the journal has evolved into a Q1 international journal of Translation Studies through publishing individual as well as collaborative research conducted internationally. The analyses present the activity of the journal dominantly (but not exclusively) in figures, relating to the number and the lengths of the articles it publishes, its authorship, the countries where its authors work and its citations. The second part of the study reveals the main focuses, themes and languages of inquiry as reflected by the most frequently used words and expressions in the titles, abstracts and the lists of keywords of the articles. The paper ends by demonstrating the ways in which the journal has contributed to furthering and shaping translation research in Hungary, Europe and worldwide.
A kiváló kutatót manapság nemcsak a nívós tudományos eredmények jellemzik. Az ismertség és az elismertség fokmérője a kutató aktív jelenléte a nemzetközi tudományos adatbázisokban és kutatói nyilvántartásokban, melyek alapján munkáját számos mutatóval minősítik. Mire figyeljen a kezdő kutató? Tanulmányunkban a tudománymetria alapjaiba nyújtunk betekintést. Az elméleti tudnivalók rövid ismertetése után gyakorlatorientált megközelítéssel számos példát hozunk a nyelvészet, azon belül is a fordítástudomány területéről. Szót ejtünk a folyóiratok megbízhatóságáról, a parazita kiadókról, a folyóiratok tudományos rangsorairól és az azok alapjául szolgáló nemzetközi adatbázisokról, a publikálás díjairól, az Open Access publikálásról, a kutatói azonosítókról és a hazai sajátosságokról. Könyvtárosként nyelvészeknek kívánunk objektív útmutatóval szolgálni a tudománymetria szövevényes világához, annak érdekében, hogy kezdő kutatóként magabiztosan tudják rendszerezni és értelmezni a tudományos előmenetelüket segítő vagy ahhoz akár kötelezően alkalmazandó adatbázisokat és mutatókat, továbbá szisztematikusan tudják megtervezni a tudományos életpálya során elérendő kvantitatív célokhoz vezető utat.
