Recherches germaniques en 2021 : continuités et évolutions récentes

The paper reviews the guidelines of the journal Recherches germaniques since its foundation in 1971, in terms of editorial line, the Franco-German comparative perspective, the peculiar place given to Alsace, and the target readership, which ranges from academia to Germanophile readers. The contribution also mentions the significant evolutions of recent years: the increasing internationalization of the journal since the 2000s, combined with integration on the OpenEdition journals platform in 2019, the regularity of special issues since 2014, the inclusion of thematic dossiers in the Varia since 2009 and of a review section in 2021, the regular contribution of young authors and, finally, the indexing of the journal in numerous national and international databases, as well as the attribution of certifications such as the DOAJ, which are seals of quality.
