the

Comptes Rendus de l’Académie des sciences

Created in 1835 by the French physicist Arago, who was then the Secrétaire perpétuel of the Académie, the

Comptes Rendus de

l’Académie des sciences

is a review in French and English that enables researchers to make their research promptly known to the

wide international scientific community.

This set of seven publications spans the whole field of scientific research, as its titles make it obvious:

Mathematique, Mecanique,

Chimie, Biologies, Geoscience, Physique

and

Palevol

. Each series is driven by its editor-in-chief with the assistance of its editorial

board. The articles submitted are evaluated by two scientists of recognized expertise in the field. These may be notes, announcing

significant, new results, or summaries that provide clarification, or conference proceedings, or other publications such as thematic

issues, under the direction of guest editors-in-chief from France or abroad.

Altogether, close to 730 articles have been published in the 2013 and 2014

Comptes Rendus

and 28 thematic issues have come out

(15 from the

Physique

series, 6 from

Mécanique

, 5 from

Chimie

, 2 from

Geoscience

and 2 from

Palevol

The

Comptes Rendus de l’Académie des sciences

are available for hard copy or online subscriptions for individuals (EM Consulte)

or groups (ScienceDirect), abstracts being published for open access on these two websites. Besides, the

Bibliothèque Nationale

de France

is completing the digitisation of the older issues of the

Comptes Rendus

, with the 1835-1995 years already open to free

access on its website
