The European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH) is the only reference index created and developed by European researchers both for their own purposes and in order to present their ongoing research achievements systematically to the rest of the world. It is also a unique project because, in the context of a world dominated by publication in English, it highlights the vast range of world-class research published by humanities researchers in the European languages.
A list of core disciplines was identified as central to the European humanities community and Expert Panels in these disciplines were set up to review journals which had been proposed by the various ESF Member Organisations as well as by editors and publishers.
The ERIH Revised Lists 2011 published herewith are the result of the second round of the ERIH project, following the revisions of the ERIH Initial Lists.
ESF provides the scientific, administrative and technical secretariat for COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
