Bientôt la fin de mise en disponibilité. Après presque 5 ans en Suisse, l'heure du choix approche. L’heure est au bilan : ce que j'ai construit ici, et ce que je dois à mon parcours en France :)

Le crawling massif par des bots est un défi pr la durabilité des infras du green OA notamment pour les repositories. Chez nous, c’est 6-7 To de trafic et 21M de requêtes par mois. C'est plus de l'usage légitime, c'est de la saturation. Certaines institutions en viennent à couper les accès externes.

Something we’re proud to share and the result of a great cross-team effort at EPFL Library ! Infoscience, ORCID, and people.epfl.ch form a virtuous, complementary ecosystem.

What does the Swiss institutional repository landscape look like? NAIF survey dataset is now on Zenodo. 39 Swiss HEIs, 113 questions about infrastructure, metadata, interoperability & governance. First insights👇 & full analysis report coming end of 2026 eth-library.github.io/naif/posts/2...

Mapping Swiss Institutional Repositories: A National Survey Dataset (NAIF Track 3) https://infoscience.epfl.ch/entities/product/39ec4819-3b91-401a-92c7-f0877359a1c9

Mapping Swiss Institutional Repositories: A National Survey Dataset (NAIF Track 3)

This dataset contains the survey instrument and pseudonymized response dataset produced by Track 3 of the NAIF project (National Approach for Interoperable Repositories and Findable Research Results), a national initiative co-funded by swissuniversities and eight Swiss higher education institutions (ETH Library, University of Zurich, EPFL, ZHAW, PHSG, University of Fribourg, University of Neuchâtel, and University of St.Gallen), running from July 2025 to December 2026. The survey mapped how institutional repositories across Swiss higher education are governed, technically configured, and sustained, covering infrastructure, metadata practices, interoperability, and long-term sustainability. It was administered via SurveyHero between November 5, 2025 and January 15, 2026, targeting swissuniversities-accredited institutions and institutions participating in the Swiss Open Access Monitor. The dataset contains 35 completed responses representing 39 institutions. The full analysis — including descriptive statistics, thematic findings, gap analysis, and recommendations — will be published as a separate report later in 2026.
