CIRAD scientific journals in open access on a new portal - CIRAD

CIRAD has luanched a new portal for its three journals in open access - Bois et Forêts des tropiques, Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine vétérinaire des pays tropicaux and Cahiers Agricultures - and its policy brief, Perspective . The new "CIRAD Revues" portal gives online access to articles from journals published by CIRAD or co-published with partners. It is suitable for all mobile devices, opening up its resources to a wider readership. The portal and the specific websites for each journal were built using the OJS open journal publishing system, which notably enables online follow-up of the editorial process for journal articles, from submission by their authors to publication on the journal website. The system also ensures better indexing of articles by search engines. The submission process is both clear and simple, making it easier for authors to access journals and boosting the visibility of authors from both North and South on the international scientific stage. Other journals will be available shortly, including the archives of Fruits, co-published by CIRAD and the ISHS.
