Dear Colleague,

 I am pleased to inform you of the launch of Scipedia (https://www.scipedia.com), a new initiative promoted by CIMNE for fostering the publication and dissemination of documents in Open Access and which has several innovative features. You can see a brief presentation of the capabilities of Scipedia at https://goo.gl/XNfjQb and on the web itself. The unique feature of Scipedia is that it allows the creation and management of journals and collections of publications of individuals and groups (e.g. a single author, a group of academics, a university department or a research center). The documents are generated from the "original" text of the publication in Word or Latex and can be modified with the online editor of Scipedia to embed in the document videos, spreadsheets, raw and processed data files, models, etc. The collections may include articles, monographs, books, magazines, technical reports, conference proceedings, etc. From the documents published, one can automatically generate copies in PDF or EPUB format. All documents published in Scipedia are indexed by the main search engines of scientific and technical documents, such as Google Scholar, Open Aire, etc. In addition, all content is traceable by Google robots (and others) so that each part of it is traceable and referenceable. On the other hand, the published documents have a discussion forum where they can be commented by registered users. These comments will contribute to the "popularity" of the document and increase the "prestige" of the author and of those who participate in the discussion. In summary, Scipedia combines elements of Wikipedia, ReseachGate and OJS, incorporating new electronic publishing and Web 2.0 utilities. I invite you to know more about the potential benefits of Scipedia and to register as a user. For any doubt, comment or suggestion, please contact info en scipedia.com. I hope this new Open Access publishing platform will be useful for your scientific and technical activity. Thank you very much for your time and interest. Sincerely, Eugenio Onate ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………Eugenio Oñate Professor of Structural and Continuum Mechanics Universitat  Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)Director of International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE)Gran Capità s/n, Campus Nord UPC, Ed.
