Recensio.net
recensio.net - review platform for European history - is a Europe-wide, multilingual online platform for reviews of historical literature.
concept
recensio.net brings together book reviews of new historical publications on one platform. The reviews are devoted to thematic European history and may be published both online and in print: recensio.net does not claim to exclusivity of the published content and the role takes in this sense an Open Access - Aggregators true. All cooperating magazine editors continue to work independently. At the same time, authors of historical scientific texts (monographs and essays) have the opportunity to present the core theses of their publications and thus make them subject to technical discussion. Users of the platform can comment on reviews as well as presentations and thus participate in the discussion of current topics and approaches in European historical research.
The reviews and presentations published on recensio.net are accessible in open access. The texts are searchable in full text and are enriched with metadata by the Bavarian State Library and archived over the long term.
The platform's navigation languages are German, English and French; the reviews and presentations can be written in all European languages.
The aim of the platform is to facilitate the exchange between European historians and to make reviews more visible and more accessible.
Recensio.net only accepts a fraction of all nationally and internationally available reviews. This is v. a. for small and medium-sized magazines, but also for older book reviews. The resource therefore does not replace large bibliographical scientific directories (such as the Medioevo Latino)
Sponsorship
recensio.net is a joint project of the Bavarian State Library (BSB) Munich, the University of Cologne and the Leibniz Institute for European History (Mainz) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG ).
As part of the project, the international conference "Science Communication in the Digital Age" was held at the Historisches Kolleg in Munich in January 2011 when recensio.net went online .
