Electronic research databases provider EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO), US, has announced that content from the French open access publishing platform openedition.org (OpenEdition) will now be searchable through EBSCO Discovery Service. 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 ľédition 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.
OpenEdition joins a growing list of publishers and other content partners that are taking part in EDS to bring more visibility to their content. Partners include leading scholarly journal and book publishers including Elsevier, Wiley Blackwell, Springer Science & Business Media, Taylor & Francis Informa, Sage Publications, and thousands of others. Partners also include content providers, such as LexisNexis, Thomson Reuters (Web of Science), JSTOR, ARTstor, Credo Reference, Oxford University Press, World Book, ABC-CLIO, and many others.
EBSCO Discovery Service creates a unified, customised index of an institution's information resources, and an easy, yet powerful means of accessing all of that content from a single search box.
The EDS Base Index represents content from about 20,000 providers (and growing) in addition to metadata from another 70,000 book publishers.
