What is open access ?

« Content in open access is accessible to all with no barriers: no authentication requirements, no resources under an embargo, no paid access, etc. This may concern scientific publications, data, code, etc.» Comité pour la science ouverte, https://www.ouvrirlascience.fr/category/glossaire/ 

French and European guidelines such as the "French national plan for open science" or cOAlition S are in accordance with it and promote the free and unrestricted access to documents issued by a work financed by the French public research or European Union funds.

Quae-Open, a website for open access eBooks

In this context, and in order to support this approach, Quæ makes available part of its catalog on a website fully dedicated to their open access eBooks.

Immediate download

A great part of Quæ's books, in French and in English, are available without any restrictions, in both ePub and PDF formats.
