Presentation

Objectives and contents

HAL-SHS provides publications produced by the scientific research. The expected scientific level is the one of a publication submitted in a peer-reviewed journal. HAL-SHS does not limit to published documents, or even intended to be published, but the scientific contents must be suited for a display in HAL-SHS.

The following types of document are not accepted :

powerpoint presentation or poster, unless it is an annex of an article
bibliography alone
table of content of a book
presentation of product

For contributors

The deposit of a document requires the agreement of all its authors, and it must respect the publishers' policy
A submitted document passed a moderation process. It can be rejected if it does not fullfill HAL criteria
Once a document is put online, it cannot be withdrawn
