DIGITAL JOURNALS IN THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Revues.org offers editorial teams the infrastructure and skills they need to oversee the digital publishing process from start to finish. The platform hosts and enriches your texts free of charge and also provides tools and training related to digital publishing. Each journal has its own customizable site, which is indexed in the Revues.org catalogue as well as in university catalogues. Journals benefit from a range of features including content structuring, article citability, long-term access to data, interoperability with other systems, targeted referencing, access to downloadable formats, etc. Journals can choose from several distribution policies, some of which have a commercial element. Journals can be published in both print and digital formats, or choose to be an exclusively digital publication. To join Revues.org, a journal must meet the international standards of academic digital publishing.
