Relaunched ‘BrepolsOnline’ delivers enhanced discovery, speed, and access
to a premier humanities library.
International academic publisher Brepols has launched a fully redesigned version of its online platform,
BrepolsOnline. The site, which relaunched in December, serves as a central repository for nearly 40,000
scholarly articles and 2,700 books, providing students, researchers, and librarians with expanded access to
key humanities fields, including history, archaeology, art history, language, and literature.
Previewed to widespread acclaim at the Frankfurt Book Fair, the new BrepolsOnline platform has been
praised for its clean, accessible interface, elegant presentation, and lightning-fast search capabilities. Built
on Ingenta Edify – an advanced content distribution platform renowned for its performance and versatility –
the site introduces a suite of user-focused features. These include citation export tools, customizable
publication alerts, and intelligent recommendations for related topics and curated content. The new site has
been designed with accessibility in mind and built in such a way as to allow for future refinement as new
standards evolve.
Alexander Sterkens, Managing Director at Brepols, said: “Our mission is to connect seminal humanities
research with a global community of scholars. This relaunch is not just a technical upgrade; it’s a
fundamental enhancement of the research experience. Alongside Ingenta, we have built a platform that
matches the quality of our content with superior discoverability, accessibility, reliability, and ease of use,
ensuring BrepolsOnline remains an indispensable resource for generations to come.”
Scott Winner, CEO of Ingenta, said: “We’re really pleased to have teamed up with Brepols for this rollout.
With decades of experience supporting publishers, we knew early on that the Ingenta Edify platform wouldn’t
just meet the demands of this project, it could comfortably go beyond them. And seeing BrepolsOnline now
up and running is a great reminder of what can happen when real publishing expertise and solid technology
come together with a shared goal.”
Ingenta Edify is the platform of choice for leading academic publishers worldwide. Its unparalleled
performance and reliability draw on 45 years of experience serving the publishing industry.
