“…Second, we assessed the activity of each contributor accounts but we did not assess each deposit. In other words, we cannot compare the metadata of authors with the contributor account, as done by [9][10]. Yet, our results are similar enough to those based on direct matching between the creator (author) and contributor fields and provide complementary valid evidence to these former studies.…”

“…Because of the institutional support and contribution from laboratories and universities, HAL has become a kind of showcase for their scientific production. Moreover, it also provides data for the French open science monitor 10 . This mediated contribution is not temporary, in order to create a critical mass during an initial period after the repository's launch, as described by [4,[22][23].…”

“…A couple of studies have provided empirical evidence of this evolution. The analysis of almost 60,000 deposits in the life sciences revealed that 86% had been contributed by institutional, nonfaculty staff [9]; in SSH, this part is about 40%; in law, economics, and management it is higher than 50% [10]. A recent study, on a corpus of 368 journals from five disciplines, estimated the share of self-archiving by researchers at 38% [11].…”

(1) Background: The 2002 Budapest Open Access Initiative recommended on self-archiving of scientific articles in open repositories as the “green road” to open access. Twenty years later, only one part of the researchers deposits their publications in open repositories; moreover, one part of the repositories’ content is not based on self-archived deposits but on mediated nonfaculty contributions. The purpose of the paper is to provide more empirical evidence on this situation and to assess the impact on the future of the green road. (2) Methods: We analyzed the contributions on the French national HAL repository from more than 1,000 laboratories affiliated to the ten most important French research universities, with a focus on 2020, representing 14,023 contributor accounts and 166,939 deposits. (3) Results: We identified seven different types of contributor accounts, including deposits from nonfaculty staff and import flows from other platforms. Mediated nonfaculty contribution accounts for at least 48% of the deposits. We also identified difference between institutions and disciplines. (4) Conclusions: Our empirical results reveal a transformation of open repositories from self-archiving and direct scientific communication towards research information management. Repositories like HAL are somewhere in the middle of the process. The paper describes data quality as the main issue and major challenge of this transformation.

“…At the same time, the number of deposits in the laboratories has been multiplied by five, passing from 33,237 deposits in 2010 to 166,939 deposits in 2020 10 . This means that the average number of deposits by contributor increased by 36% (from 8.8 to 11.9), while the average number of deposits per laboratory tripled (from 56 to 142), a growth that is probably not due to increased research performance but to increased use of HAL by the laboratories, simplified procedures, support by libraries, and so on.…”

(3) Results: We identified seven different types of contributor accounts, including deposits from nonfaculty staff and import flows from other platforms. Mediated nonfaculty contributions (deposits by libraries, import of bibliographic records, migration from other platforms, etc.) account for at least 48% of the 2020 deposits. We also identified differences between institutions and disciplines. (4) Conclusions: Our empirical results reveal a transformation of open repositories from self-archiving and direct scientific communication towards research information management.
