Springer will publish Revue de synthese on behalf of the Foundation "pour la science" starting in January 2007. Revue de synthese was created in 1910 by Henri Berr as a respected journal bridging multidisciplinary topics such as philosophy, sociology and history. During the past century, the journal has established itself as an important forum for intellectual debate, drawing interest from authors and readers worldwide.

"I am very proud of the partnership between Springer and the Fondation "pour la science", as it confirms the excellent match between the requirements of a prestigious institution and the objectives of an innovative publisher," said Guido Zosimo-Landolfo, Managing Director of Springer France.

Professor Eric Brian, Director of the Fondation "pour la science" and Editor-in-Chief of the Revue de synthese, added, "Publishing the Revue de synthese with a renowned partner such as Springer is, as Henri Berr said over a century ago, 'to realize the ideal of a publication which is constantly renewing itself and always aware of its effect'. Today, it is important not only to renew the dialogue between disciplines, but also to revitalize the way scholars communicate among each other."

Springer will publish the quarterly French-language journal Revue de synthese, with English abstracts, in both print and electronic versions. English-language abstracts are included. As of 2007, it will be available via SpringerLink, Springer's online information platform, and will include Online FirstTM, a feature where articles are published online before they appear in print. In addition, it will offer all authors, via the Springer Open Choice program, the option of publishing their articles using the open access publishing model.
