Based on international standards, our digital publishing chain enables us to produce thoroughly marked-up digital documents in XML format, ensuring maximum readability and their reuse as research data.
These files are optimized for online dissemination (tracking and quick download) and available in PDF, XML, HTML, or ePub formats. Several digital publishing options are offered based on the journal’s specific needs.
Érudit offers its expertise and personalized support for the digitization of journals’ archives and that of other scholarly and cultural publications.
Over the past several years, Érudit has developed a strong dissemination strategy and effective indexing services. Dissemination and indexing are fundamental in our work to expand the outreach of digital publications. On the Érudit platform, journals choose to be disseminated either in immediate open access or behind a moving wall (12 months for scholarly journals, 36 months for cultural journals). The duration of the moving wall restricting access to scholarly journals meets the requirements of most international funding agencies.
To maximise the discoverability of the content on our platform, we work with major cataloguing platforms such as WorldCat, Google Scholar, Francis, Repère, Persée, etc. We meticulously structure the contents on our platform in compliance with international quality standards.
In total, over 1,200 institutions in 35 countries have a subscription or a partnership agreement with Érudit for access to the journals disseminated on the platform. We are currently working on developing the subscription and partnership revenues for journals by negotiating new agreements with library consortia or by offering new subscription options.
Developed by Érudit, the Partnership for Open Access (POA) enables open access publishing in Canada by providing financial support to non-commercial scholarly journals from library partners. Learn more about the POA
We ensure the long-term archiving of files produced in XML, HTML, and PDF formats, including their metadata. For this reason, we offer persistent links for all documents (URI) and Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) in compliance with international standards. In keeping with this goal of sustainably preserving data, Érudit has signed an agreement with Portico to guarantee the safeguarding of files in the event of a major incident.
