But what is Tabula? 

The Tabula journal was created to provide a forum for contemporary cultural and social anthropological perspectives, fresh research topics, and new initiatives. Its editorial principle is to primarily offer a platform for the latest domestic research results and, at the same time, inspire recently graduated or already active young researchers. The main endeavor of the journal is to promote cultural research, empirical qualitative social analysis, in short, the establishment of an anthropological-ethnographic approach in Hungarian intellectual life. Recently, one of the two issues published annually by the journal is released in English to introduce the results of Hungarian authors to the international scientific community. The Tabula is entirely free and accessible without restrictions: it has a web version and a downloadable PDF version; in its online issues published after 2014, full-text search is available
