Interdisciplinarity
As part of its mission, Cairn.info has set itself the goal of promoting interdisciplinary openness in the service of discovery and creativity.
Humanities and Social Sciences
Since 2005, Cairn.info has been dedicated to highlighting the quality and diversity of French-language works in the humanities and social sciences. This includes anthropology, the arts, economics, geography, management, history, information science, linguistics, literature, philosophy, psychology, public health, education science, political science, sociology, sports, and social work.
Science, Technology and Medicine
Since 2022, Cairn.info has expanded to include formal sciences, natural sciences, and technical sciences.
In response to demand from both university libraries and publishers, Cairn.info first launched a service dedicated to science, technology, and medicine publications from the catalogs of publishers Dunod, De Boeck, EDP Sciences, JLE, Lavoisier, Odile Jacob, Ellipses, CNRS Éditions, Matériologiques, Presses des Mines, Le Seuil, Hermann, Quae, Flammarion, etc.
This offering was expanded to include journals and medicine in 2024.
Law and Administration
Furthermore, in order to continue to meet the growing demand from publishers and libraries in fields other than the humanities and social sciences, at the end of 2024 Cairn.info launched a new offering specifically dedicated to legal and administrative science books and journals, with technical features similar to those in place for other offerings:
- sale by unit or by bundle, unlimited access;
- strong intertextuality between works;
- advanced search and navigation features, etc.
