ALTER is a quarterly Journal on Social Sciences and Humanities, with an Editorial Board; its scopes are European views on disabilities and alterities published in two languages (French/English) ; the Publisher is Elsevier-Masson.The Journal is a scientific, cross-disciplinary and European journal, indexed in Scopus and Science Direct.

The IFRH is the institutional partner of the Journal. It guarantees academic visibility, and a financial and logistic help as well, in particular during the first years of the launching. The IFRH is the Journal Headquarters, the Editorial Office is Françoise Marchand's job; the IFRH also warrants the good performance of the Editorial Board.

The Journal is already in its fourth year (Volume 4, n°1). It can be consulted on BiblioInserm. Archives are available on the Elsevier's Website (http://www.em-consulte.com/revue/alter).
