Groupe d’Études et de Recherches pour le Français Langue Internationale (GERFLINT)This bibliographic database contains all the publications digitized by GERFLINT in its capacity as publisher. It basically includes the GERFLINT Network of Synergy Journals, a bouquet of about thirty journals in the Humanities and Social Sciences (over 3000 articles) according to a geographical and alphabetical classification from A frique to V enezuela. The reader can access not only the titles, abstracts and keywords but also the full text of the article. The originality of the GERFLINT database lies not only in its global geographical coverage and its maximum level of accessibility: it is part of the reduced number of online international bibliographic bases that are essentially French-speaking.
