OpenEdition Journals has launched!

On 8 December, the Revues.org platform was replaced by OpenEdition Journals, as announced by our post in November.
All the journal sites hosted by OpenEdition have changed addresses, which now have the following form: http://journals.openedition.org/shortname (for example, for Sociologie du Travail, the address is: http://journals.openedition.org/sdt).
A big thank you to the journals’ editorial committees and to all our partners for their cooperation in this first phase of modernizing our scientific journals platform!
We would like to remind our partner libraries using EZproxy to access our Freemium services to add the following URLs to their EZproxy configuration:
HJ journals.openedition.org
HJ https://journals.openedition.org
