HAL-Inria

HAL-Inria is an open archive platform operated by Inria for the deposit and dissemination of research output, integrating with national and international scholarly communication infrastructures. It facilitates preservation of articles, preprints, theses, reports and software, interfacing with research institutions, publishers and funding agencies. HAL-Inria connects French and international producers such as universities, CNRS, and École Polytechnique with global indexes and discovery services.

Overview

HAL-Inria functions as a component of the wider HAL ecosystem linked to Inria, CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, École Normale Supérieure, and other institutions such as Sorbonne Université and Université Grenoble Alpes. It interoperates with platforms like ORCID, Crossref, PubMed, arXiv, Zenodo, and CLOCKSS while aligning with policies from the European Commission, Horizon 2020, and the Max Planck Society. HAL-Inria supports authors affiliated with institutions including Institut Pasteur, Collège de France, CNES, Université de Strasbourg, Université de Lyon, and Institut Polytechnique de Paris, enabling archiving for communities represented by organizations such as INSERM, CEA, and INRIA’s partner labs. The service is used by researchers who also publish in venues like Nature, Science, IEEE, ACM, Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, and PLOS.

History

HAL originated from initiatives involving CNRS, Couperin, and the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, evolving through collaborations with Inria, Université de Nantes, and the Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe. Developments paralleled international efforts by arXiv, PubMed Central, and DSpace projects at MIT and HPCC groups like CERN’s CDS. HAL-Inria emerged as a tailored node to serve Inria’s communities, adapting strategies inspired by Plan S, the Declaration on Research Assessment by DORA signatories such as University College London and Max Planck Institutes. Milestones include integration with ORCID, Crossref metadata pipelines, and partnerships with HAL platforms across institutions like Université de Montpellier, Université de Lille, and Aix-Marseille Université.

Organization and Governance

Governance involves Inria leadership, steering committees with representatives from CNRS, Université Paris Cité, ENS Lyon, and partner entities such as Agence Nationale de la Recherche and European Research Council stakeholders. Technical stewardship is provided by teams that coordinate with software projects from institutions like École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, University of Cambridge, and INRIA’s own research units. Policy decisions take into account recommendations from UNESCO, the European Commission, and national bodies including the Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l’Innovation, with consultation from librarian networks such as Couperin and SUDOC. Collaborations with international repositories like HAL-INSERM, HAL-CNRS nodes, and repositories at University of Oxford and Harvard shape interoperability.

Services and Features

HAL-Inria offers submission workflows, metadata enrichment, DOI minting in collaboration with Crossref and DataCite, and integration with identity services like ORCID and Shibboleth used by institutions such as Université de Bordeaux and Télécom Paris. It supports linking to datasets hosted by Dryad, Figshare, and the European Data Portal, and links to software archives like GitHub, GitLab, and Software Heritage. Search and discovery features align with indexing by Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, BASE, and OpenAIRE while supporting formats used by publishers such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, SpringerLink, and JSTOR. Preservation strategies coordinate with CLOCKSS, PORTICO, and national archival services like BnF and Archives nationales.

Content and Coverage

Content encompasses peer-reviewed articles, preprints, theses, technical reports, software artifacts, and conference papers from authors affiliated with institutions like Université Grenoble Alpes, CentraleSupélec, Mines ParisTech, and Institut Pasteur. The corpus includes works published in journals such as Nature Communications, IEEE Transactions, ACM Transactions, PLOS ONE, Elsevier journals, and Springer journals, as well as conference proceedings from NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, Eurographics, and SIGGRAPH. Disciplines represented include computer science research from INRIA teams, mathematics linked to École Normale Supérieure, physics contributions from CEA laboratories, and life sciences output associated with INSERM and CNRS laboratories. International contributions come from collaborations with Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, University of Cambridge, and Max Planck Society researchers.

Access and Use Policies

Access follows open access principles advocated by Plan S, the Budapest Open Access Initiative, and UNESCO recommendations, while respecting publisher embargoes and copyright frameworks used by Springer Nature, Elsevier, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis. Deposit agreements reflect policies of funders including European Research Council, Agence Nationale de la Recherche, NIH, Wellcome Trust, and Horizon Europe. Legal compliance aligns with French law, Conseil d’État guidelines, and EU regulations such as the Digital Single Market directives. User accounts integrate with institutional credentials from entities like Université de Lorraine, Université de Rennes, and CNRS, and usage statistics adhere to COUNTER standards and metrics used by Altmetric and PlumX.

Impact and Reception

HAL-Inria has been cited in policy documents from the European Commission, OECD reports, and by academic libraries at institutions such as Bibliothèque nationale de France, Cambridge University Library, and Harvard Library. Scholars from École Polytechnique, University of Oxford, Sorbonne University, and ETH Zurich reference HAL-hosted preprints in disciplines ranging from artificial intelligence at DeepMind collaborations to bioinformatics at EMBL and Institut Pasteur. Reviews and analyses by UNESCO, OpenAIRE, and SPARC highlight HAL’s role alongside arXiv, PubMed Central, and Zenodo in shaping open scholarship, and its integration with initiatives like DORA and the Research Data Alliance has influenced repository practices at universities including University of Toronto and University of Melbourne.
