On the reader’s side, OpenEdition offers full open access contents on its website (HTML). In some cases, for other formats (ePub, PDF), freemium (https://www.openedition.org/14043?lang=en) open access for books and journals is granted to university libraries.
On the producer’s side, OpenEdition has different customers and sets of criteria depending on the platform:
1/Journals: for publishers (https://journals.openedition.org/6440?lang=en),
2/Books: for publishers (https://books.openedition.org/397),
3/Calenda: for researchers and institutions (https://calenda.org/info?lang=en),
4/Hypotheses: for researchers and institutions (https://www.openedition.org/10901?lang=en).
OpenEdition brings together four complementary platforms respectively focused on:
-journals (OpenEdition Journals),
-book series (OpenEdition Books),
-research blogs (Hypotheses),
-academic events (Calenda).
OpenEdition observes two types of users:
-the end-users: all the OpenEdition contents are offered to the users through its platform and referencing external databases,
- the content providers: the OpenEdition contents are provided by academic users who have writing rights to its platforms; the content providers can be academic publishers, academic institutions, and scholars.
