After Zenodo and Figshare, HAL and SSRN are sensible next moves because they add a different kind of legitimacy. Zenodo and Figshare stabilise objects: DOI, persistence, citability, archival firmness.

HAL and SSRN, by contrast, add field-facing circulation. HAL defines itself as a multidisciplinary open archive for published and unpublished research and explicitly states that it serves researchers from foreign academic institutions as well as French ones. SSRN presents itself as an open research platform for rapidly sharing preprints and early-stage research across a wide range of disciplines. In other words, these two platforms do not simply hold documents; they place them nearer to recognisable scholarly traffic. Their value is not identical. HAL gives a strong signal of archival seriousness, academic normality, and infrastructural respectability. It feels close to a public scholarly deposit layer: sober, institutional, durable. SSRN is more performative and circulatory. It is built around networks, rankings, searchable abstracts, topic channels, and branded Research Paper Series; it is designed to move papers through scholarly attention rather than merely conserve them. For a project like Socioplastics, HAL would reinforce the image of a structured research archive, while SSRN could test how the work behaves when placed inside wider social-science and humanities discovery circuits, including philosophy, history, and environmental research networks. So the next preprint strategy should be incremental, not indiscriminate. Deposit one decalogue or one especially legible node in HAL; then test one in SSRN with a carefully academic abstract, keywords, and title architecture. This is wiser than treating every repository as equivalent. arXiv remains much stricter in disciplinary fit, and OSF’s generalist server has suspended new submissions since August 25, 2025, though community-run services remain active. The right sequence is therefore: HAL first for institutional density, SSRN second for circulation.
