Institution's/Department's OA Self-Archiving Policy
Archimer's objective is to:
* provide greater visibility to Ifremer research output, in all fields related to oceans (aquaculture and fisheries for instance, but also geosciences, biology, ecology...)
* increase impact: more scholars and scientists have free and rapid access to Ifremer research output, thus increasing its citation impact
* promote the research output of the institute by aggregating its publications in a structured and interoperable database (compliant with the OAI-PMH)
This project is part of the international development of Open Access, which aims to provide free access to scientific literature to the widest audience via the Internet.

"In August 2005, Ifremer launched its institutional repository, Archimer. This repository is now offering more than 3700 documents available for free on the Internet of which more than 80% are international publications co-written by Ifremer since the opening of the repository."
