OpenEdition est une infrastructure complète d’édition électronique au service de la communication scientifique en sciences humaines et sociales. Elle rassemble quatre plateformes complémentaires dédiées respectivement aux revues avec Revues.org, aux collections de livres avec OpenEdition Books, aux blogs scientifiques avec Hypothèses et aux annonces scientifiques avec Calenda.

L’ensemble de ces plateformes reçoit 3 millions de visites mensuelles provenant du monde entier. Depuis 2011, OpenEdition propose le programme Freemium, un ensemble de services et de formats mis à disposition des bibliothèques et de leurs usagers.

OpenEdition est développé par le Centre pour l’Édition Électronique Ouverte (Cléo), une initiative publique à but non-lucratif soutenue par les plus grandes institutions de recherche françaises et dont la principale mission est la promotion de l’édition électronique en libre accès.

vAlidAtionThe academic community itself animates Calenda by suggesting announcements via a detailed online form. This service is completely free. Announcements are then validated by the Calenda team and translated. Calenda has its own academic committee which defines the calendar’s remit and the oversees the evolution of its activities.

visibilityAcademic events announced on Calenda benefit from the platform’s international visibility – Calenda receives more than 200,000 visits a month. What’s more, announcements can also be published on one or several of our partner sites, such as Liens-socio.

pArtnershipCalenda offers a web service that allows partner sites to carry out detailed searches of the calendar’s database and to use the search feeds to display results on their websites or include them in their digital diaries. The service contributes to enhancing coverage of research of, for example, a discipline, a city or a publication language.
