Érudit’s service chain makes both research results and cultural content widely discoverable online, thanks to the following 5 pillars:
1. Production
2. Dissemination
3. Preservation
4. Support
5. Innovation
1. Production
Human- and machine-readable
From each publication file sent to us by the journal editors, we create a digital document structured in XML format, with plain-text and metadata. This document can be read in various formats (PDF, HTML, ePub) and indexed in search engines.
5. Innovation
For the future of the humanities and social sciences
By developing new digital tools and by contributing to research projects, we foster innovation in the humanities and social sciences.
4. Support
Each journal is unique
We offer tailored support to each editorial team for its digital projects. And thanks to our worldwide network of libraries that subscribe or partner with us, we also help sustain journals’ operations.
3. Preservation
Sustained access for centuries to come
We make sure that the digital document will remain available, through the evolution of digital formats and even when our own servers might no longer exist!
2. Dissemination
Available everywhere, anytime
The document is then made available on the erudit.org platform, but also through various discovery tools, aggregators, and search engines with which we have signed agreements (Ebsco, Google Scholar, Crossref, Isidore, etc.). Our built-in search engine also helps to ensure that users are quickly connected with the content they need.
