New Tri-Agency Policy to Expand Access and Reach of Research Results
Posted: March 5th, 2015
The Tri-Agency – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) – recently announced an open access policy on publications.
Grant recipients who receive funding from the three federal granting agencies after May 1, 2015 must make their peer-reviewed journal publications freely accessible online within 12 months of publication.
The new policy requirements do not pertain to other research outputs – for example, books, chapters or creative writing.
See the joint statement issued by the Vice-Principal (Research) and Vice Provost and University Librarian. March 3rd 2015.
