History
Mathdoc
The Cellule de coordination documentaire nationale pour les mathématiques (Mathdoc) is a mixed service unit with a national vocation, with two supervisory bodies: the Institut national des sciences mathématiques et de leurs interactions (CNRS Mathématiques) of the CNRS, and the Université Grenoble Alpes, where it is located.
It develops services intended either for professionals (documentalists, academic publishers, laboratories, etc.) or directly for researchers through various search and access portals.
It is involved in numerous collaborations in this field, both nationally (CNRS business networks, Bibliothèque nationale de France, the very large “Bibliothèque scientifique numérique” research infrastructure, etc.) and internationally (cooperation on digital mathematics library projects).
The unit is headed by a mathematician. The team consists of documentalists, computer scientists (development and system administration), and a manager.

Cedram, dissemination platform for French mathematics journals (French)
Originally, Cedram
Launched in 2005 and stopped in 2018, the Cedram gatheredin 2017 9 journals, 1 book et 7 scientific proceedings, accessibles in full text and open access.
The centre Mersenne was presented as a change of scale for Cedram in terms of:
- Services: a wide range of services;
- Thematic coverage: opening to scientific disciplines beyond mathematics;
- Geographical coverage: international outreach.
From Cedram to the Centre Mersenne
