Mathdoc is a partner in the Linked User-driven Multidisciplinary Exploration Network (LUMEN) project, a project for the development of scientific publication and data platforms crossing different disciplines, aimed at researchers and supported by the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
Mathdoc’s participation in LUMEN, mainly in collaboration with Mathrice, aims to develop or integrate editorial tools for the centre Mersenne:
- the first objective is to integrate Mathrice‘s PLMLatex tool, which offers collaborative writing of articles in LaTeX format, into the editorial chain of the centre Mersenne.
- the second objective is to improve the links between the publications of the centre Mersenne and the codes or software associated with them.

The PCMath project receives the Collective cristal medal which rewards “direct support for research” teams. The PCMath is a plan, in which some thirty libraries in France participate, coordinating at the national level the conservation, in the best possible conditions, of the printed collections of mathematics periodicals in order to guarantee long-term access to the scientific community.
The Catalogue Fusionné des Périodiques de Mathématiques, combined catalogue of mathematical periodicals, developed by Mathdoc, is the tool used to implement the PCMath. Three members of Mathdoc are winners of the Collective cristal medal for the work done around the CFP and the support of the plan:
- Philippe Besnier, web developer
- Simon Panay, web developer (from 2018 to 2022)
- Céline Smith, documentation and cooperation manager
