How to associate a dataset with a publication deposited in HAL ?
In HAL, it is possible to report datasets associated with publications, such as research articles or data papers that you deposit, as long as these datasets were published in a data repository
Caution: HAL-UL is not a data repository! The Université de Lorraine has its own institutional environment, DOREL (DOnnées de REcherche Lorraines), in the Recherche Data Gouv repository. It can be accessed to this following address: https://entrepot.recherche.data.gouv.fr/dataverse/dorel-lorraine
The two prerequisites for linking one or more datasets to a publication deposited in HAL are as follows:
- Having deposited a publication in HAL;
- Having published a dataset in a data repository that attributes a DOI (digital object identifier). DOREL automatically provides a DOI to a published dataset, but this is also the case for other data repositories, such as Zenodo, Dryad, Pangaea...

Instructions
Once these two conditions have been met, you can link a dataset and a publication in HAL.
Two situations are possible:
- You add this information at the creation of the record in HAL (case 1).
- The record already exists in HAL and you wish to complete it (case 2).
Some data repositories may not attribute a DOI to the published dataset. However, it is possible to indicate the dataset in the record (case 3).
Case 1: associating a dataset with a publication from the creation of the record in HAL
- In the deposit form of a publication, in the "Identifiers" section, fill the field "Associated data" with the dataset DOI to associate with the publication.
- If necessary, click on "Add" to add several DOI fields.
- Finish filling in the metadata, then validate your deposit.
Caution: the dataset DOI is different from the publication DOI!
Case 2: Associating a dataset with a publication a posteriori
- If you are the author of the deposited publication, you can modify the record metadata yourself and add the DOI(s) of the dataset(s) to be associated with the publication.
- If you are not the author of the deposited publication, you can make a "Request for shared ownership" of the deposit. Once you have access to the record, follow the steps in case 1.
Case 3: Report a dataset without a DOI
If the data repository has not attributed a DOI to the published dataset, you can enter the dataset URL in the "Other information" section, in the "See also > URL of resource(s) linked to this work" sub-section.
If you have any problems associating a dataset with a publication, please write to hal-contact@univ-lorraine.fr
