HAL Archives-ouvertes
HAL Archives-ouvertes is a French multidisciplinary open repository for scholarly documents, founded to collect, preserve, and disseminate research outputs. It operates within the ecosystem of European research infrastructure, aligning with policies from the European Commission, the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and international initiatives. The platform interfaces with university libraries, national research organizations, and scholarly publishers to increase visibility of academic works.
HAL began as an initiative at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique and developed through collaborations with institutions such as Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, INRAE, CEA, and INSERM. Early milestones involved integration with services provided by ABES, Couperin, and partnerships with repositories like arXiv, PubMed Central, Zenodo, and HAL-Inria. Key policy drivers included recommendations from the European Commission's Open Science agenda, directives from the Ministry of Higher Education and Research (France), and guidelines influenced by the Berlin Declaration on Open Access. Major technical evolution occurred alongside projects funded by the Agence nationale de la recherche and the European Research Council, while governance models referenced practices at institutions such as Université de Lorraine and Université Grenoble Alpes.
HAL’s remit covers doctoral theses, preprints, postprints, conference papers, reports, and grey literature produced by researchers affiliated with entities like Sorbonne Université, Université de Strasbourg, École Normale Supérieure, Paris Sciences et Lettres University, Université de Lille, Université de Bordeaux, and foreign partners such as University of Oxford and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The repository supports cross-domain exchange among fields represented by national research organizations including IFSTTAR, INED, IRD, CNRS UMR teams, and laboratories linked to Collège de France and École Polytechnique. HAL’s scope aligns with mandates from funders such as the European Research Council and national agencies like ANR.
The platform is underpinned by software, metadata standards, and protocols used by major infrastructures like OpenAIRE, ORCID, Crossref, DataCite, and OAI-PMH. HAL implements interoperability with identifiers including DOI, ORCID iD, and integrates cataloguing schemes compatible with METS, MODS, and Dublin Core formats. Search and discovery leverage indexing compatible with services such as Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, and integration with aggregator platforms like BASE and CORE. HAL’s technical stack evolved in concert with projects involving Inria, CNRS IT services, RENATER, and data centers such as those operated by PSNC and CINES.
Submission workflows reflect practices shared with repositories such as arXiv and bioRxiv, requiring affiliation verification with organizations including Université de Paris, CNRS units, INSERM labs, and research consortia like ERIC. Policies on embargoes, versioning, and metadata follow recommendations from bodies such as Committee on Publication Ethics and align with publisher frameworks like Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, and learned societies including the Académie des sciences. Preservation strategies coordinate with initiatives like Portico and national archives administered by Bibliothèque nationale de France and institutional repositories at Université Clermont Auvergne.
HAL supports open licensing options including Creative Commons variants used widely across publishers such as PLOS, BMC, Cambridge University Press, and Oxford University Press. Copyright guidance reflects copyright law in France and Europe, referencing frameworks informing policies at European Commission and funders like Wellcome Trust, Horizon Europe, and Agence nationale de la recherche. Access modalities mirror practices at PubMed Central and Zenodo, while respecting embargo agreements and publisher licensing models negotiated with organizations such as Elsevier and Springer Nature.
Governance involves the Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe, steering committees with representatives from CNRS, INRIA, Université Paris-Saclay, Ministry of Higher Education and Research (France), and partner universities including Université de Montpellier and Université de Toulouse. Funding sources include national budgets, grants from Agence nationale de la recherche, contracts with regional authorities, and cooperation with European programs like Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. Strategic decisions have been informed by advisory input from stakeholders such as Couperin, Conférence des Présidents d'Université, and international collaborations with OpenAIRE.
HAL’s corpus has been analyzed in bibliometric studies using tools from Clarivate Analytics, Elsevier Research Intelligence, and community platforms like Google Scholar Citations. Metrics reported include deposit counts, download statistics, and citation tracking interoperable with Crossref Event Data and altmetrics providers such as Altmetric. The repository supports compliance monitoring for funders like the European Research Council and influences scholarly communication practices observed at institutions like Sorbonne Université, École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, and international partners including Harvard University and Max Planck Society.
