HAL

 http://hal.ccsd.cnrs.fr/
The organisations that are participating are Inserm (National Institute for Rsearch in Health Sciences and Medicine), Inria (National Institute for Research in Computer Sciences), Inra (French Institute for Agronomy Research), and CNRS (National Center for Scientific Research). The idea is to unify all these portals into a single one, HAL.

HAL provides an extensive set of tools and services that are extremely beneficial to research scientists:
  • automatic document submission (for both publications or pre-prints) with a link to an international open archive that increases visibility and impact,
  • simplified submission process for research scientists: a single submission can cover all the researcher's work, evaluation procedures, activity reports, and replies to requests for quotations. The system provides tools for selecting and exporting publication lists,
  • advanced search engine, classification and searches using multiple criteria (publication date, scientific field, collection, organization, or laboratory),
  • automatic online extraction of all works by author, laboratory, or organization, with possible links to the organization's local Web site (by including HAL in a given metadata structure, it is possible to specify the author/laboratory/organization affiliation),
  • creation of "collections" via buffers for authentication of a laboratory's publications, the articles in a journal, etc.
  • alert and watchdog system that can be customized with user-defined profiles,
  • finally, HAL is designed to facilitate the creation of configurable interfaces for organizations to create their own environments.
