Ranking Web (Webometrics) of Universities

[Jean-Claude Guédon]

But the French choice was to create a central repository for the whole
country. This is what HAL is all about.

A ranking system should be able to correct for the effects of such a
policy. There was no "surrendering in this case", just a choice to
create a one-stop entry into French OA literature.
