  • Research Support

    Starting in 2025, the Library will send out a quarterly research support newsletter via email to keep you informed about HAL (useful information and tips), open science, events not to be missed, and more.
    In order to reach a wider audience, it will be sent to all staff and students at the schools, rather than only to those who subscribe.

    • IMT Open Science charter


      Fully committed to the Open Science approach that is currently transforming research and its practices worldwide, IMT has adopted an Open Science Charter, approved by its Board of Directors and implemented across all its schools.

      IMT thus encourages researchers to become even more involved in the movement to share their publications and research data. IMT supports them through a support system in place within each school.

    • Hal and open archives

      HAL is the joint platform of French research institutions for reporting and disseminating researchers' output, based on the principles of open access and self-archiving.

      More than 7,400 articles are currently listed for Télécom SudParis, and more than 3,600 for the Institut Mines-Télécom Business School in their respective HAL collections.


      Visit HAL's collection at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School

      • You are a lecturer-researcher at Institut Mines-Télécom Business School and would like to list your articles in HAL: consult the submission guide.

    • Research Data

      The second French Plan for Open Science aims to generalize open science practices, share and open up research data, and promote source codes produced by research. Data produced by French public research must gradually be structured in accordance with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), preserved and, whenever possible, made open.

      Opening up research data enhances the transparency of scientific research, consolidates its results, pools collection efforts, and promotes the reuse and cross-referencing of datasets.

      Researchers are encouraged to deposit their data in certified data repositories, whose governance and intellectual property rules will comply with best practices.

      In January 2025, the CODORI IMT (Research and Innovation Domain Committee) officially approved the creation of School portals on the data.recherche.gouv.fr platform, the ecosystem for sharing and opening up research data to communities that do not yet have a recognized thematic repository.

      To help you create your data management plan, Inist-CNRS provides DMP OPIDoR, an online tool for creating data management plans. It enables researchers and their partners to anticipate the management of data produced and/or reused and facilitates the drafting of a data management plan according to FAIR principles.

    • Transformative Agreements

      Transformative Agreements or Read and Publish Agreements are negotiated agreements with publishers that grant us rights to read, via our digital resources, pay-to-view journals, as well as open access publishing rights. Publication rights allow authors affiliated with our institutions to publish their edited versions during the term of the agreement in immediate open access without embargo and without additional APC (Article Processing Charges).

      The aim of these agreements is to move from a financial model based entirely on subscriptions to a model of open access journals.

      Our schools are signatories to two transformative agreements negotiated by the Couperin consortium:

      • ACM for 2024-2026 (Télécom SudParis)
        • Reading component: access to ACM Digital Library
        • Publication component: unlimited open access publication in all ACM journals (hybrid and gold OA) and conferences. E-books are not included in the agreement.

      • Elsevier for 2024-2027 (Télécom SudParis & Institut Mines-Télécom Business School)
        • Reading component: access via ScienceDirect to all articles published in the 2,281 journals in the Complete Freedom Collection (including four Lancet titles) and the Bibliothèque Médicale Française collection (46 titles).
        • Publication component: unlimited open access publication in 2,480 eligible hybrid and full OA journals. The stock of publication rights is consortial and not specific to each institution; it's calibrated to cover 100% of the corresponding author articles of subscribing institutions (more than 11,000 articles per year).
    • Researcher IDs


      While increasing the visibility and impact of their scientific output, a researcher's digital identifier (PID Persistent IDentifier) is a unique and permanent alphanumeric code assigned to a researcher to identify them unambiguously in a digital environment. This identifier makes it possible to link a researcher's various publications, patents, scientific datasets and other contributions, thereby avoiding confusion due to homonyms, spelling variations, changes in civil status, names with one or more initials, etc., and facilitating the management of their scientific output.

      Local researcher digital identifiers are specific to a database, social network or open archive:

      • Web of Science ResearcherID : linked to Clarivate's Web of Science, it's automatically created for authors listed in WoS publications. It lets you track an author's publications and citations.
        • Web of Science ResearcherID form: AAA-0000-1111

      • Scopus Author ID : managed by Elsevier, it's automatically assigned to authors whose contributions are indexed in the Scopus database.
        • Scopus Author ID form: 0123456789

      • IdHAL : created on the researcher's initiative. It's associated with the French open archive HAL and brings together all the author forms associated with a researcher's deposits. AuréHAL is the application for managing the repositories used in HAL, including the author repository.
        • IdHAL form: first name-surname

        • IdRef : Author ID automatically created by libraries upon the defence and publication of a thesis on theses.fr or as soon as a researcher is identified as an author in Sudoc, the french collective catalogue of Higher Educational and Research libraries and resource centres.
          • IdRef form: 123456789


        Global researcher digital identifiers aggregate different sources of information:

        • ORCID : A unique, free, permanent international identifier system developed by an independent non-profit organisation. Created by the author themselves, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID allows authors to report their publications through a single, automated and simplified entry. It communicates and centralises content from the largest databases and can be linked to other digital identifiers for researchers (Web of Science ResearcherID, Scopus Author ID, IdHAL). This non-proprietary identifier has become established internationally and is increasingly required by scientific publishers and funding agencies.
          • ORCID form: 0000-1111-2222-333Z
          • How to add your publications from HAL to your ORCID profile.
          • Training Centre video to learn more about using ORCID in HAL.

      1. Thesis submissions

        The electronic submission of theses meets legal deposit requirements (decree of 25 May 2016, amended by the decree of 26 August 2022). This mandatory process ensures long-term archiving in digital format and provides optimal visibility for the research work of young PhDs.

      2. Signing publications

        Adopting a single, standardized signature method facilitates the comprehensive and unambiguous identification of scientific research output from our schools. It aligns with the objectives of promoting the publications of faculty researchers within the context of open science, their recognition by international rankings, and their international visibility.

        These recommendations should allow us to comprehensively respond to the queries of automated bibliometric tools and search engines to identify publications based on the name of our schools, our affiliated institutes, our research units and our geographical locations.

        • Signature for publications by Télécom SudParis searchers

          • For staff members of the SAMOVAR laboratory
