"The main goal of the Persée project is to widely disseminate the scientific output of French language specialists in the humanities on the internet. Considered part of France's heritage, the collections are at the disposal of all, without charge, in an optic of free and non exclusive access and dissemination. The publisher or journal distributor may choose to determine a recent time span, between 2 and 5 years, during which the issues will not be freely available on the internet. This moving barrier is a means for guaranteeing the commercialization of current production, whether in paper or electronic form."
