COLLECTION REFERENTIELS

The collection Référentiels was launched by the Editions Maison des Sciences de l'Homme and the Editions Epistèmes.

Those responsible include: Valentine Roux, Blanche Barthélemy de Saizieu, Philippe Blasco.

The collection Référentiels has two primary objectives: to improve the accessibility of scientific texts by revealing their logico-discursive operations, and to promote the verifiability of hypotheses, notably by publishing the data bases employed. To such ends, the collection profits from the opportunities offered by electronic editions. All the books of the collection are in a hybrid paper/electronic form: a short book presents the thesis, perspectives, and critical discussions of the work; the electronic support is dedicated to a rapid but exhaustive lecture of scientific constructs and their data bases.

By addressing the persistent problem of reading overload and of the auto-archiving of scientific data, the editorial models raised for this collection also favor knowledge transfer, the training of researchers and interdisciplinary research. In the long run, such publications in their electronic form will be able to integrate specialized knowledge bases.
