HAL is a platform to promote Open Access to publications. Publications are easy to find, well
referenced by search engines and interconnected with other services (ORCID, preprint servers).
The largest French research organizations and the majority of French universities have chosen
and support HAL, a public, sustainable and responsible infrastructure. HAL guarantees the
long-term preservation of publications. A set of services (CV, institutional portals, collections,
documentary watch, APIs, identifiers) contribute to their valorisation.
