Archimer, general principles
Archimer : Ifremer’s institutional repository
Launched in 2005
2 versions : Internet and Intranet

bibliometrics
 Only full text documents (11 500 docs.)
 Visibility : Internet, Intranet, confidential…
 Home development (JSP, JAVA, Oracle) with
connexion to other Ifremer’s information
systems

Conservation
Centralize to conserve
 Documents centralization and their conversion
into an electronic format ensures access to
Ifremer’s scientific and technical results for a
very long time
This centralization is especially necessary
for all grey litterature and particularly for
confidential documentation
Ways to succeed ?
 Publications are identified, harvested,
formatted by Ifremer’s library staff
 A mandate has been established for reports
and expertises (deposit visibility can be limited
to Intranet or confidential mode)
An easy to use system
 An automatic entry with a connection to Ifremer directory LDAP
Email Localization Department Unit
Laboratory Employee ID
One of the keys to Archimer success
Results
 100 % of publications since 2005 and 80% are
in open access
 100 % of expertises since 2009
 We expect 100% of reports for 2011
Valorization
Internal valorization
 Documents centralization facilitates sharing of
confidential documentation while controlling
the access rights
External valorization

Other key of Archimer success: an annual synthesis

Bibliometrics
Publications identification
 References of Ifremer publications are
exported from the WOS every week and
integrated into Archimer
 Only publications referenced in the WOS are
considered for the indicators
 Data obtained are more reliable (duplicate
remove, deletion of multiple declarations for
same publication)
Ifremer authors identification
Information collected automatically in
LDAP directory for Ifremer authors
Email Localization Department Unit
Laboratory Employee ID
Affiliations standardization
Automatic normalization of affiliations (organizations
and countries) for bibliometric indicators counting
related to collaborations
Automatic normalization
based on equivalence
improved every week
Manual normalization (with
assistance) when automatic
normalization is unsatisfactory
Recall on writing rules
Only 6% of Ifremer
publications 2010
have wrong
affiliations !
Full-text collect
More than 80% of Ifremer publications
2005-2010 are online for free
Indicators association
Manual association of a publication to four-year
contract indicators

Towards an interconnection of Ifremer
information systems
Interconnection of Archimer with
« French Oceanographic Cruises » database
 The « French Oceanographic Cruises »
Database lists all campaigns of Ifremer,
CNRS, IRD and IPEV fleets
 A first step to an interconnection with
referencing bases of all Ifremer infrastructures
Link of a campaign to Archimer
Campaign codes entry is easy and reliable with a
connection to « French Oceanographic Cruises »
database
Link of a campaign to Archimer
An enrichment

Expected benefits
 More visibility for Archimer and « French
Oceanographic cruises » database with links
system between both,
 Ifremer’ four-year contract indicators will be
more reliable, in particular deleting duplicates
automatically for publications from several
campaigns data,
 An access to search and analysis functions of
Archimer to study qualitative and quantitative
evolution of publications from oceanographic
cruises,

Conclusion
 Archimer is essential to evaluate the scientific and
technical production of Ifremer
 Using Archimer, a very large part of the
documentation produced by Ifremer is now
centralized. Its preservation is ensured.
 Archimer project success is linked to its
integration : with the same tool, we ensure
preservation, valorization and bibliometric
analysis of Ifremer documentation
Conclusion
 Archimer success is also related to the fact
that everyone find benefits :
 Scientifics : valorization of their public scientific
production (confirmed by stats) and interne
information source
 Structures responsibles : efficient exports to
automate administrative tasks
 Direction : source of reliable bibliometric
informations
