Viewing cable 06PARIS7290, HAL - FRANCE'S PORTAL FOR SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06PARIS7290.

SUBJECT: HAL - FRANCE'S PORTAL FOR SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS 
1.  All major French research organizations, the conference of 
university presidents (CPU), the conference of 'Grandes Ecoles' 
(France's elite universities), and the Pasteur Institute recently 
 
signed a Joint Draft Agreement defining a coordinated approach, at 
the national level, for open-access self-archiving of French 
research output.  The French network of open-access archives is 
known as Hyper Article on Line or, simply, HAL.  Initially created 
by the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) in 2000, and 
developed by the Center for Direct Scientific Communication (CCSD), 
it will ensure direct scientific communication between academics, 
and long term preservation of deposited documents. 
 
2.  The HAL project is in line with the arXive site created in 1991 
by Paul Ginsparg, an e-print service in the fields of physics, 
mathematics, non-linear science, computer science, and quantitative 
biology, owned, operated and funded by Cornell University and partly 
funded by the National Science Foundation. HAL, on the other hand, 
is now open to all scientific disciplines without restriction. 
Approximately 1200 documents are reportedly archived every month, 
which represents roughly 15 percent of French scientific publication 
output. 
 
------------------------------- 
Technically superior to arXive? 
------------------------------- 
 
3.  According to HAL's creator, CCSD Director Franck Laloe, HAL 
provides an extensive set of tools and services beneficial to French 
researchers, and "technically superior to arXive," e.g.: 
 
- Automatic document submission with link to an international open 
archive that increases visibility and impact; 
 
- Simplified submission process for scientists (a single submission 
can cover all the researcher's work, evaluation procedures, activity 
reports, and replies to requests for quotations); 
 
- Advanced search engine, classification and searches using multiple 
criteria; 
 
- Automatic online extraction of all works by author, lab, or 
organization, with possible links to the organization's local web 
site; 
 
- Creation of "collections" via buffers for authentication of a 
lab's publications, the articles in a journal, etc.; 
 
- Alert and watchdog system that can be customized with user-defined 
profiles; 
 
- Hal is designed to facilitate the creation of configurable 
interfaces for organizations to create their own environments. 
 
4.  The joint draft agreement is considered an important advance in 
the implementation of French national policy in support of open 
access institutional archives.  According to the French CNRS 
Director of Scientific Communication, "the single archive will 
significantly improve the visibility, dissemination, and the 
international impact of French scientific research, as data will be 
indexed by major research engines, such as Google."  Furthermore, 
HAL communicates with other major international archive systems and 
includes a protocol of agreement about metadata to enrich the 
articles. 
 
------------------- 
Benefits and risks? 
------------------- 
 
5. According to media, some French scientists do not 
favor HAL out of concern that some scientists might release on the 
network data without peer review.  HAL's organizers, on the other 
hand, argue that articles consulted by other scientists, will 
receive critical review and potential errors will be quickly 
notified. Furthermore, posting an article on the site does not 
prevent its submission for publication to scientific journals with 
peer review.  HAL's promoters now hope that other countries, notably 
within the EU, will join the project, giving France a leading role 
in a large system of international direct scientific communication.
