Hypotheses, Academic Blogs

Hypotheses is an academic publishing platform that hosts several thousand blogs covering all areas of the humanities and social sciences. The texts are in open access. They are not aimed exclusively at specialists and may be of interest to a broad readership. Hypotheses publishes content in a wide range of languages. It is possible to browse the platform in the most commonly used languages on Hypotheses: French, German, Spanish and English.

The Hypotheses platform is open to the whole academic community (researchers, research teams, PhD students, information specialists, institutions, etc.) in all disciplines of the arts, humanities and social sciences.

Hypotheses aims to develop direct scientific communication. The perimeter of the platform is widely open. Many types of projects are accepted and each application is examined individually.

However, some editorial projects will not be approved on Hypotheses. For instance, an application to open a blog that would be the publication medium for an academic journal would be refused (for more information about the platform’s editorial scope, see the view of its scientific committee) ; but a blog that aims to accompany an existing academic journal or journal project will be approved.

To open a Hypotheses blog, you must provide a clear editorial and scientific project description, as well as an academic affiliation (research laboratory or institution, university, scholarly society, etc.).
