Collection Repères is a publishing collection from Éditions La Découverte, directed by Pascal Combemale. It produces affordable pocket-sized books that offer rigorous, accessible syntheses of research and knowledge, generally in fewer than 128 pages. Written by recognized researchers and specialists, the titles cover sociology, economics, history, political science and law, culture and communication, management, ecology, philosophy, and geopolitics.

The collection is intended for a broad readership, including students, teachers, researchers, association and political activists, trade unionists, and anyone seeking reliable ways to understand contemporary issues. Its books are regularly updated and reissued to reflect developments in their subjects. The Repères label has also led to four larger-format series published under the Grands Repères name, which follow the same standards of intellectual rigor.

The collection’s website provides a searchable catalogue, information about books and authors, forthcoming titles, news, an events agenda, videos, and related documents. It also features selected digital books and allows visitors to browse the latest catalogue, subscribe to the newsletter, or submit a manuscript to the publisher
