In France we have HAL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Articles_en_Ligne "Hyper Articles en Ligne, generally shortened to HAL, is an open archive where authors can deposit scholarly documents from all academic fields." I work at a university and I know library people and management check carefully that every paper we produce is deposited in HAL. Also: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_articles_en_ligne "Depuis…
In Latin America, the SciELO network has been very successful at providing shared, low-cost, stable infrastructure for digital journal hosting using state funding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SciELO

French people using unknown french standards only, news at 20h00.
Ironically, the French time format is best in my opinion, because some operating systems and services can’t handle colons in file names. ISO 8601 allows for Thhmmss.sss which can be represented in filenames, but I’d rather use something like 20h33m02.345 because it’s much easier to read at a glance than T203302.345, which looks like one decimal number.

> For recruiting some french institutions like CNRS will only consider papers deposited in HAL when doing the evaluation. While I like HAL in general as a consumer, that policy is terrible if true for people like me who started their academic career abroad. One more reason not to go back, I guess.
There is actually a tool that is supported by HAL that makes it easier to quickly add all your publications by just giving your name: https://dissem.in/
For instance, it automatically fills in all the metadata for your publications.

Not to mention many of these OA journals were only created to scam researchers. They’d create a fake front and pretend they’re a prominent journal. Can’t recall them specifically but there were a few news clips about them a few years back.
Can people not try to make a scam out of everything??

> other parties involved here (universities for instance) don't seem too keen on the idea of a having their work circulate openly Hum... What? Universities at worst don't care. Most really want they work circulating and will do a lot of things to get it (many useless things that miss the point, but well, that's how people are). Universities could push it harder. But they are surely pushing on the correct direction.
> Universities at worst don’t care. I wonder how aaronsw would feel about this statement.
