Perspectives in primatology: unleashing knowledge with Revue de Primatologie (RdP), a pioneering, free, and open-access journal by researchers for researchers
Résumé
Established in 2009 by French-speaking primatologists, the Revue de Primatologie (RdP; Primatology Journal; Licence CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0) has evolved into a privileged diamond open-access scientific publication, developed through the voluntary commitment of researchers. Initially, the journal aimed to bring together French-speaking primatologists from various fields, including conservation, ecology, paleontology, anthropology, cognitive sciences, biomedical sciences, ethology, and physiology. In recent years, the RdP has adopted a more global perspective, expanding the number of articles and publishing in both English and French. Currently, one issue is published annually, featuring a special issue edited by an external researcher on a specific topic. The journal aims to unite a broader primatological community by providing articles in both languages and a free translation service, all while maintaining a robust scientific standard. Each scientific article submitted is reviewed by two researchers, with final decisions made by the Editorial Board. This poster explores the current landscape of primatological journals, open-access criteria, and the quest for impact factors. Using website visit and article download statistics, it provides a clear and up-to-date snapshot of the RdP, including the scope of its scientific contributions, its national and international impact, and its strategies for wider dissemination. The poster concludes with thoughts on the journal’s future and suggestions for preserving its vitality
