The  Centre for open electronic publishing (Marseille, France) is pleased to  announce the launch of OpenEdition, the umbrella portal for Revues.org,  Calenda and Hypotheses.org, three platforms providing unlimited  access to their content. If  we have called the program “OpenEdition”,  it is because we intend to  promote the profile and production of  open-access academic research  publications internationally. Concomitant  to the inauguration of the  portal, we have also inaugurated the  OpenEdition Freemium program,  designed for libraries eager to  contribute to the financing of  open-access publishing and to encourage  good distribution practices of  research work within the humanities and  social sciences.OpenEdition is an umbrella for Revues.org’s journal and book series catalogue, Calenda’s   academic announcement service, as well as Hypotheses.org research   notebook catalogue. It has a single search engine covering all three   platforms putting all their services – articles, announcements, etc - at   your fingertips. There is a single browsing bar covering all three   platforms of the portal enabling you ready access to the full range of   services, which you will discover as you consult the site. This toolbar   also provides a whole host of contextual information and services.The   OpenEdition browsing toolbar enables you to download PDF and EPUB   versions of the texts you wish to consult, for e-readers and   smartphones. Access to these formats is limited to libraries subscribing   to the OpenEdition Freemium program, which encompasses publications to have elected this economic model.OpenEdition   also offers an alert and subscription service. This alert service   enables you to automatically receive alerts based on keywords of your   choice by email. For example, a notification based on the word “cyber”   will notify readers every time this word appears on Revues.org, Calenda, or Hypotheses.org. The service is highly customisable and it is possible to add filters, by requesting information from the Calenda platform only, for example. It is also possible to refine your search   to specific fields, to request alerts for articles published by a   specific author, or limit your search to title and extracts only.Alerts are limited to 3 per user. Subscribers to OpenEdition Freemium have unlimited access.Aside   from the alert system, we also offer a tool which enables subscription   to specific publications and which then enables you to receive all of a   journal’s articles by email, along with all the latest announcements on  Calenda relating to your chosen subject category, as well as any  new relevant  articles from research notebooks. You can, for example,  subscribe to the  Culture et Politiques Arabes notebook or the Leçons Inaugurales du Collège de France. Such subscriptions are without restrictions for all users.The   portal is in its early days, and teething problems are always a   possibility. Do not hesitate to inform us of any difficulties you   experience using the tool!To find out moreThe OpenEdition portal:http://www.openedition.orgOpenEdition Freemium presentation: http://www.openedition.org/8699Centre for open electronic publishing: http://cleo.cnrs.fr/Journal membership: http://cleo.cnrs.fr/960Book series membership: http://cleo.cnrs.fr/963Contact for the OpenEdition Freemium programme: Jean-Christophe Peyssard – jean-christophe.peyssard@revues.org
