The Institute launched a new series of studies
under the serial title ’Közlemények /
Papers/
’
in 1967.
The majority of the authors - as before – were among
the Institute's staff.
The books of the first ten years of
the series - 25 issues – due to financial problems
could not be made by traditional printing technique,
but instead 30-40 copies of duplicated typescripts
were prepared, which fell far short of the previous
high-quality publications. Of course, they were neither
distributed to booksellers, and played no role even in
the library’s book exchange programme.
This was
changed in 1979, when from issue 26 the volumes of the series were identified
with ISSN, and were prepared by Somogy County Printing Company in
Kaposvár in an average number of 300-500 copies. The series was finished in
1985 with the issue number of 32.
The Transdanubian Research Institute together with the
National Environment and Conservation Office, and later the
Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional
Development from 1980 to 1990 prepared ten volumes under
the series title
’Environmental Studies’
, four of which were
written in Russian language The editor of the whole series and
of some individual issues was István Fodor.
All the volumes of the series ’
Papers
’ and the
Environmental Studies
included edited material presented at international meetings organized by the
Institute or papers of larger research projects.
In 1963, for the 20th anniversary of the Transdanubian Research Institute,
the Institute’s founding director formulated a proposal for the first time of
editing and publishing a scientific journal for Southern Transdanubia.
Finding
financial resources for this purpose - according to the proposal - would have
been the task of county and city councils. However, this idea did not succeed,
and almost 25 years had to pass so that this plan – publishing the journal
Space and Society
– could be realized.
