About the Centre Mersenne

The Centre Mersenne develops a comprehensive publishing infrastructure based on a modular service catalog towards scientific communities publishing in LaTeX.
It also includes a dissemination platform for posting journal’s electronic editions.

Its mission includes supporting new publications (journals, books, seminar or conference proceedings) from all kind of scientific disciplines engaged in open access and using LaTeX to produce articles.

History

The Centre Mersenne was founded in 2017 as a partnership of Mathdoc (joint service unit of CNRS and University Grenoble Alpes) and UGA Éditions, with funding from the IDEX (funds for campus-wide excellence in teaching and research) of Grenoble. It is developing new services for diamond open access scholarly publishing (diamond meaning here : gold open access without APC, or free to read, free to publish).
