EBSCO Discovery Service Offers New Open Access Humanities and Social Science Content
Content from the French open access (OA) publishing platform openedition.org (OpenEdition) will be searchable through EBSCO Discovery Service from EBSCO Publishing. OpenEdition is made up of three community publishing platforms dedicated to the humanities and social sciences. The complementary platforms represent a complete electronic publishing system dedicated to promoting research and open access publishing of tens of thousands of scientific papers.OpenEdition is an initiative of the Centre for open electronic publishing—Centre pour lédition électronique ouverte (Cléo)—based in Marseille, Paris, and Lisbon, Portugal. Cléo is a laboratory involving the CNRS (the National Centre for Science Research), the University of Provence, the EHESS (the Graduate School of Social Sciences), and the University of Avignon. OpenEdition is the umbrella portal for Revues.org, Hypotheses.org, and Calenda. - Revues.org is a web platform for more than 300 journals and book series in the humanities and social sciences that is open to publishers, research units, and organizations looking to publish quality full-text material online.
- Calenda is the largest European scientific calendar for the humanities and social sciences. Published since 2000, Calenda includes announcements of nearly 16,000 scientific events.
- Hypotheses.org is a platform hosting more than 200 scholarly blogs. The research blogs offer a quick and easy way to report research—a blog-like way to chronicle the work on a given topic.
OpenEdition joins a growing list of publishers and other content partners that are taking part in EDS to bring more visibility to their content. The EDS Base Index represents content from approximately 20,000 providers (and growing) in addition to metadata from another 70,000 book publishers. EDS creates a unified, customized index of an institution’s information resources, and an easy, yet powerful means of accessing all of that content from a single search box—searching made even more powerful because of the quality of metadata and depth and breadth of coverage.
