EquipeX HALiance
HALiance aims to rework HAL’s core services and to match the recommandations and excellence criteria defined by the French higher education and research organisations through the National Plan for Open Science within the scope of international initiatives for Open Science (COAR, EOSC, cOAlition S). It rests upon the renewal of both the hardware and the software.

nepHAL+
The aim of the nepHAL+ project is to develop an innovative stand-alone submission and evaluation module that will allow peer review of pre-publications, datasets and research software. It will also enable the publication of open review reports. It will be made available as a free software so that it can be reused by other players in scholarly publishing.

| Phase 1 | Phase 2 |
|
The first phase focuses on the researcher’s user experience, comprising the creation of an account, the deposit form, and the overall clickstream from the homepage to the deposit form. |
This phase focuses on administration pages: portal administration, collection management, user management, deletion of ducplicates, check of deposits. For this user sprint, a sample group made up of HAL users with various profiles and administration rights was created and individual interviews were conducted. Monitoring group: N. Alarcon (Casuhal), V. de Lavenne (ADBU), A. Raymond-Denise (EPRIST) |
Methodology
