The Ambassadors of HAL

“After having studied the scientific production based on the document (both as a medium of information and as a vehicle of scientific knowledge), I am now studying the teacher-researcher profession in the face of the new challenges that have arisen since the emergence of digital technology and the Open Science movement.

I try to understand how technology, tools and digital devices instrumentalize the profession and what is the role of the teacher-researcher in this system.’

“I discovered Open Science, and more specifically HAL, in 2018 during my research lab internship. While working on the bibliographic referencing of the scientific activity of teacher-researchers and their digital identity, I discovered an exciting topic that later became the subject of study for my PhD thesis. Since then, the HAL open archive is part of my daily life because I regularly help the members of my laboratory with the deposits.

I also try to apply my research to my university, in particular by carrying out a study on several laboratories and developing the local barometer so that my institution have a real policy in favor of Open Science in the long course.

For me, Open Science is not just a movement: it is a (new) way of doing science. And this ambassador status is a kind of recognition for my commitment and the work I have been doing for five years now.’

 

“My research focuses on the examination of regulatory practices pertaining to data and research infrastructures within the humanities and social sciences. I am particularly interested in the methodological, professional and organisational transformations surrounding these regulations in the context of Open Science policy and personal data protection regulations.”

 

“My dedication to Open Science emerged during my graduate studies in Scientific and Technical Information. I wished to serve as a HAL ambassador during my PhD in order to actively contribute to the construction and expansion of this “common house of French research” provided by HAL, thus further strengthening my commitment.”
