Three French journals convert to OA

Revues.org announced in its July 3 newsletter that it had launched 3 new OA journals: Balkanologie: Revue d’études pluridisciplinaires [Balkanology: Journal of multidisciplinary studies], Lapurdum: Revue d’études basques [Lapurdum: Journal of Basque studies], and the Revue historique des armées [Journal of military history]. (Thanks to Jean-Claude Guédon.)

Balkanology and Lapurdum have been in print for over 10 years each; the Revue historique des armées has been in publication since 1945.

In the same newsletter, Revues.org also announced that its parent organization, the Centre pour l’édition électronique ouverte [Center for Open Electronic Publishing], has become the first French organization to contribute financially to the Directory of Open Access Journals.
