In passing, this shows the importance of never giving away the title
of one's journal when contracting services with a publisher such as
Elsevier. Obviously, Sociologie du travail, a highly respected journal
in the field of sociology, was wise enough to do so. The editorial
board of Lingua, by contrast, had to start an entirely new journal
with a new title, Glossa, when they could not agree with Elsevier.
This is a much harder route to follow, and the likes of Elsevier know
it well.

Sociologie du travail joins Revues.org and chooses Open Access
The journal Sociologie du travail has terminated the contract it has
had with Elsevier since 1999 and is moving to a fully digital form of
Open Access on Revues.org.
Issue 59, Volume 1 of Sociologie du travail, entitled “Les syndicats
face aux transformations du secteur public”, has just been published
on Revues.org. The journal has also been given a makeover. This is a
twofold turning point for the journal, which is both breaking with
restricted access distribution on Elsevier and switching from print to
digital. For Didier Demanière, author of this issue’s editorial, the
change “signals a rupture with an international publisher contested
for its exorbitant fees and positions the journal in the movement for
open access to scientific articles”.
“The arrival of Sociologie du travail on OpenEdition is an important
event in our eyes”, observes Marin Dacos, director of the Centre for
Open Electronic Publishing (Cléo), which runs OpenEdition. “This is a
journal that is an authority in its field and which is joining us and
deciding to leave Elsevier, a publishing magnate that for 30 years has
contributed to making libraries’ acquisitions budgets skyrocket. We
are proud to help it choose open access and to offer it international
visibility on OpenEdition.”
The journal has chosen to be published on Revues.org using the
Freemium programme, with the HTML format of texts accessible to all
readers and the PDF and ePub formats reserved to users affiliated to
subscribing libraries and institutions. This formula enables journals
to enjoy greater visibility in university networks, while also
generating income.
Founded in 1959, Sociologie du travail is one of France’s most
longstanding sociology journals. Centred on the field of work, the
publication nevertheless remains a generalist journal of sociology,
grappling with current issues. The issues published between 2014 and
2016 will gradually be transferred to the new site. The older issues
are available on Science Direct, Persée and Jstor.
