Étude comparée des usages de HAL et Academia par les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales
Abstract
This article aims to shed light on the online dissemination of scientific articles in the humanities and social sciences by adopting two perspectives. The first perspective is quantitative and aims to measure the importance of the national open archive HAL and the academic social network site Academia in the online release of research in social sciences and humanities. The study is based on a corpus of 70,000 articles published between 2010 and 2018 in five benchmark disciplines: history, geography, literature, management sciences and environmental sciences. The second perspective is qualitative and is based on interviews with some fifteen researchers from these different disciplines. The uses of HAL and Academia are situated in the wider set of digital practices of researchers and embodied in their publishing career.
