Season's Greetings, OE Partnership

Season’s Greetings & DOAB and OpenEdition Partnership 

 
DOAB would like to wish you Happy Holidays!
We hope 2015 will be a good year for you and for Open Access Books.
 
DOAB is very pleased to welcome OpenEdition as a partner to support our activities. OpenEdition supports the aim of DOAB and its commitment to quality assurance of listed publishers and publications. The collaboration will take shape in various ways. OpenEdition will help to set-up a French version of the DOAB website and help in screening new applicants from France. OpenEdition will also act as an agent for its members to upload information and metadata of their books. More in general, OpenEdition will represent DOAB as a partner at events for the academic community and will help to develop our services for publishers and libraries. 
 

OpenEdition

 
OpenEdition (http://www.openedition.org) provides a comprehensive platform for electronic publishing in the humanities and social sciences.
It brings together dedicated platforms for journals (Revues.org), books (OpenEdition Books), research blogs (Hypotheses) and academic announcements (Calenda). Together, these platforms receive 3 million visitors per month from all over the world. In 2011, OpenEdition introduced its Freemium program for libraries, addressing libraries’ specific needs in a variety of formats and services.
OpenEdition is developed by the Centre for Open Electronic Publishing (Cleo), a non-profit public initiative promoting Open Access academic publishing, with the support of the main French research institutions.
 

DOAB

 
DOAB (www.doabooks.org) is a discovery service for Open Access books. DOAB provides a searchable index to peer-reviewed monographs and edited volumes published under an Open Access business model, with links to the full texts of the publications at the publisher’s website or repository. 
Academic publishers are invited to provide metadata of their Open Access books to DOAB. Metadata are harvestable in order to maximize dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate the records in their commercial  services and libraries can integrate the directory into their online catalogues, helping scholars and students to discover OA books.
DOAB is a service of OAPEN Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to Open Access for scholarly monographs.
