It combines four platforms dedicated to books, journals, research blogs, and academic announcements respectively. With their majority of Open Access content, the four platforms have received 64 million visits in 2018. Complimentary services are offered via libraries and subscribing institutions.
OpenEdition Journals, the online journal platform
OpenEdition Journals is a journals platform for the humanities and social sciences. Founded in 1999 under the name Revues.org, it is now home to more than 500 online publications. Of our 200,000 articles, 95% are available in full-text access.
OpenEdition Journals sets out to promote academic electronic publishing in all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences. It encourages the adoption of Open Access, while respecting publications' own financial position. Some journals publish a printed edition in parallel, while others are exclusively electronic. All journals have their own peer review committee and/or have other procedures guaranteeing the quality of published contributions.
