• A Canadian Copyright Glossary (Laura J. Murray)

A useful informative glossary of key terms, organizations and legal cases related to Canadian copyright. The glossary is part of Dr. Murray's web site faircopyright.ca, a resource and advocacy tool with a focus on educational issues in copyright, started "in summer 2003, because so few copyright resources were available in Canada for nonlawyers.".

• The Changing Landscape of Online Publishing

  Faster and wider sharing of journal articles, research data, simulations, syntheses, analyses, and other findings fuels the advance of knowledge. It’s a two-way street — sharing research benefits you and others.

  The Create Change website will help you understand the changing landscape of online publishing and how it affects you and your research. It also offers practical ways to look out for your own interests as a researcher.

• SPARC Canadian Author's Addendum

Traditional publishing agreements often require that authors grant exclusive rights to the publisher. The new SPARC Canadian Author Addendum enables authors to secure a more balanced agreement by retaining select rights, such as the rights to reproduce, reuse, and publicly present the articles they publish for non-commercial purposes. It will help Canadian researchers to comply with granting council public access policies, such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Policy on Access to Research Outputs. The Canadian Addendum reflects Canadian copyright law and is an adaptation of the original U.S. version of the SPARC Author Addendum.
