Hello,
With the start of the Winter term, I would like to share some more
information about our independent journal collection. We are proud to say
that Érudit <http://bit.ly/2MpoJvx>, a non-commercial Canadian
dissemination platform, now includes more than *185,000 journal articles*
in the social sciences and humanities.

*A Partnership Supporting Open Access for SSH Scholarly Journals*
With our strategic partner the Public Knowledge Project (PKP
<http://bit.ly/2UaY9sJ>)—another non-commercial Canadian organization—we
are helping SSH journals make the transition towards sustainable open
access through an *innovative model *called the *Partnership for Open
Access*.

*Access to a Unique Collection of Canadian Journals*
Of our 145 SSH peer-reviewed journals, 54 now publish in immediate open
access—and we are working hard to increase this number! The archives of all
our journals are freely accessible online, meaning that over *95% of our
content is open access*.
*Érudit and the UK: A Few Facts*
- Érudit received more than *230,000 visits* from UK users in 2018.
- There are many *highly-cited UK authors* published on Érudit, for
example:
- Christina Schäffner, Emeritus Professor of Translation Studies at
Aston University, Birmingham, published in *Meta: Translators’
Journal*;
- Colin C. Williams, Professor of Public Policy at the University of
Sheffield, published in *Industrial Relations*;
- Lorraine Radford, Professor of Social Policy and Social Work at
University of Central Lancashire, published in *Criminologie*.
*Be part of the movement*
Thanks to the ongoing efforts of the Canadian research community, we are
building a new publishing model based on the *collaboration between
university libraries and scholarly journals*. Our *Partnership for Open
Access* is currently expanding internationally, and now includes French and
Belgian libraries.
Together, we can redefine the power dynamic in the field of scholarly
publishing in support of a free circulation of knowledge.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information.
Best regards,
Élise
