Open Access, publications and bibliometrics
The University Library system (BU) offers HAL & Open Access to support PhD students and researchers in the process of publishing and depositing their publication in the open archive HAL.
HAL stands for “Hyper Articles onLine”. This open archive was created in 2001 to allow researchers to deposit their articles and manuscripts in an open access database developed by the Center for Direct Scientific Communication (CCSD) of the CNRS. Access to the data is free, but not necessarily their use or reuse.
