Folyóiratokban

Folyóiratokban is a Hungarian locative plural form meaning “in journals.” It combines the plural noun folyóirat (journal, periodical) with the locative suffix -ban/-ben, used to indicate location or context within journals.

Folyóirat, the base word, refers to a regularly published periodical that contains articles, reviews, and other scholarly or professional content. In Hungarian, a folyóirat is typically associated with academic or specialist publishing, distinguishing it from a magazine (magazin), which is more commonly aimed at a general audience, and from a newspaper (újság), which reports news. Folyóiratok can be scholarly journals, professional periodicals, or literary journals.

Grammatically, -ban/-ben marks the locative case. For plural forms, the sentence fragment ínsuffixes the word as folyóiratokban to mean “in journals.” This form is used to describe where findings appear, where discussions take place, or where material is published. For example, a sentence such as “A kutatás eredményei a folyóiratokban jelentek meg” translates to “The results of the research appeared in journals.” Other examples include “Szakmai összefoglalók a folyóiratokban olvashatók” (“Professional summaries can be read in journals”).

In scholarly writing, mentioning that sources or articles appear in folyóiratokban helps specify publication venues and aids bibliographic description. See also tudományos folyóirat, cikk, publikálás.
