Listes de revues SHS
Pour de nombreuses disciplines de Sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) la production de livres reste la forme majeure de l’œuvre scientifique. Parallèlement, la multiplication des revues constitue aujourd’hui un outil essentiel d’animation et de diffusion permanentes dans le milieu de la recherche.La profusion internationale des périodiques illustre non seulement la croissance de la communauté mondiale des chercheurs mais aussi un profond changement dans la manière de publier les résultats de la recherche. Les approches pluridisciplinaires dominent aujourd’hui le paysage intellectuel et de nombreux chercheurs publient logiquement dans des revues qui relèvent d’autres disciplines que les leurs. Les experts qui évaluent les unités de recherche ne peuvent plus espérer connaître l’ensemble des périodiques dans lesquels les publications ont été réalisées. Il a donc été décidé de leur fournir la liste des revues qui, par discipline ou domaine, tiennent une place importante dans la diffusion des résultats de la recherche à l’échelle nationale et surtout internationale.
Les listes des revues constituent des outils d’évaluation propres à chacune des disciplines de recherche et dont l’usage demeure à l’appréciation des comités d’experts.

Trying Team-Based Inquiry to Teach Research Skills in the Humanities
By Travis Grandy. Teaching research as a team-based activity is probably old hat to those of you in STEM, but in the humanities, many of us still cling to the solitary research process of toiling away in some dark library corner.
