Application request for a research blog
Who can open a Hypotheses blog ?
The Hypotheses platform is open to the whole academic community (researchers, research teams, PhD students, information specialists, institutions, etc.) in all disciplines of the arts, humanities and social sciences.
Hypotheses aims to develop direct scientific communication. The perimeter of the platform is widely open. Many types of projects are accepted and each application is examined individually.
However, some editorial projects will not be approved on Hypotheses. For instance, an application to open a blog that would be the publication medium for an academic journal would be refused (for more information about the platform's editorial scope, see the view of its scientific committee) ; but a blog that aims to accompany an existing academic journal or journal project will be approved.
To open a Hypotheses blog, you must provide a clear editorial and scientific project description, as well as an academic affiliation (research laboratory or institution, university, scholarly society, etc.).
