 Les presento a Jeremy Roche, tenían que hacer la presentación con Tomás Parisó, pero por problemas no ha podido venir y la hará a Jeremy. Tenían preparada la presentación en español, pero lo hará en inglés porque él sabe español, pero bueno, la preferen inglés, ¿vale? Sí, puedes pasar. Él nos hablará sobre los desafíos de las editoriales francesas. A ver, me gustaría mucho hacer mi presentación en español, pero yo sé que no hablo suficientemente, entonces creo que es mejor para mí y para ustedes si yo hablo inglés. Si hay preguntas, después mi presentación puede pedirlas en español y yo voy a responder en inglés. Voy a decirles un poco sobre el landscape de la publicación en francés, el landscape de la publicación académica en francés. Dile a ustedes lo que CERN es, la plataforma, la compañía que trabajé. Y luego les daré en un par de slides un overview de una plataforma que hemos colocado juntos, que hemos desarrollado, para adrecer a uno de los principales desafíos de las publicaciones francesas de la publicación académica en el mundo de hoy. Y eso es el desafío de visibilidad. ¿Cómo pueden ser visibles en un mundo académico donde el inglés ha sido el primer o segundo lenguaje de investigación y educación? Para comenzar con un poco de contexto, el mercado de la publicación académica en francés es muy pequeño y CERN fue específicamente creada por publicaciones en sociales, ciencias y humanidades, así que es un mercado más pequeño. Y hay un poco, lo que llamamos, grandes publicaciones, pero si comparas con los grandes publicaciones científicos multinacionales, son muy, muy pequeños. Y, en realidad, la mayoría de los actores, de los publicadores en la cadena académica francés, son muy, muy pequeños estructuras. A veces estamos hablando de uno o dos personas que publican un tema de su jornal cada año. Y hay mucho diversidad, hay lo que llamamos publicadores, así que van a ser publicadores que están conectados a la investigación de una universidad o a una labra publicamente fundada en francés. Y luego, en el otro lado del espectro, hay publicadores privados que son de los actores editoriales o de un grupo grande de publicadores. Y, bueno, la transición de print publicación a online publicación, took a bit of time. Cairn was a platform that was founded ten years ago. And the reason why the transition to electronic publishing took a long time is because there was no big actor that had the money or the capacity to develop their own online platform, unlike what you saw, for example, with bigger academic publishers, multinational academic publishers. And so the guiding principle for Cairn was that by grouping together those publishers would be stronger and that's why they launched the platform Cairn in 2005. And it was originally funded by four of the bigger academic publishers in France. And they were quickly joined by other, those small publishers that I talked about that really saw that this mutual project had a lot of benefits. And the collection of journals and then subsequently ebooks has grown quite a lot in the past ten years. And today with approximately 440 journals y a little bit over 5000 ebooks, we feel that we've really covered sort of the main fields and the main publishers in social sciences and humanities in France. And we're very lucky to have quite a unique platform that is very well known in the French-speaking world and we have agreements, national licenses in most French-speaking countries. But that's not the subject of my talk. What I want to talk to you about is what happens when we're talking about the rest of the world, what happens to these journals, to these books published by French-language academic publishers. And it's almost surprising that there is, despite the fact that French as a second or third language is less and less used all over the world, there is actually quite a dynamic community of people that read and use French-language materials at university and that can be people who are, for some reason, francophone, but also students of French as a language, as a culture, French literature, and also professors, researchers in fields where French is one of the main languages. So I'm thinking, for example, about anthropology or linguistics, where sort of the founding fathers, if you will, of the subject, were French people who wrote in French. And for this small community of users, a small but dynamic community of users, Kearn is quite a popular resource. But outside of that, well, what the question is for publishers, what can we do to reach an audience outside the French-speaking world? And what they came up with, what we came up with, is a platform that's completely separate from the online platform where we put all the French-language journals. And it's a platform that's entirely in English. And we work with the editorial boards and the researchers that publish in quite a number of journals to select articles and to select abstracts that we then translate with, of course, specialized translators from French to English. And the idea is that French-language francophone researchers can keep on publishing and doing their research in French, but we will make their research more visible by providing English translations. And some journals have the funding to translate all their new articles. Others try to work on a really case-by-case basis. And the idea is that with the international edition of Caen, libraries all over the world can offer multilingual content, but that originally came from the French-speaking world. And then now in a couple of slides I'll show you what it looks like and I think what's really important is that you see that the French version and the English version of every journal, every article, are closely linked. So you might be familiar with the homepage of Caen. This is what it looks like. And then at the top right of the screen there is a little link that says English. And when you click on that link you end up on a different platform that's completely in English. You see all the subjects are in English, but we haven't translated, for example, the names of the journals. This is something that they, we want them to retain their identity. And I'm going to choose the page of a journal so you can see what sort of information we provide. Something that's really important is, for us, am I 8 minutes up? Yeah. Well, I'll show you the fact that one of the most important things for us is when we know that libraries are going to offer multilingual content is to provide context. For journals, spending a lot of time explaining to users this is the journal that you're going to cite. It's published by this publisher. That's the history of the publisher. The history of this journal is this and this and that. This is the editorial boards. These are the subjects that they normally deal with. And something quite important as well is things like the political leanings of the journal. And on Caen you'll find journals that range from Marxism to more conservative more conservative political, economical ideas. So we really thought that providing all this context to the users was the key element. And, well, if my 8 minutes are up I will skip through the rest of the slides. Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions we can ask them now or we can talk about it. Outside of the auditorium. Thank you. Muchas gracias.
