Granting agencies and open access
- SSHRC, NSERC, and CIHR have a harmonized Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications that requires research publications from their grants to be made openly available
- "Grant recipients are required to ensure that any peer-reviewed journal publications arising from Agency-supported research are freely accessible within 12 months of publication"
- Publications (peer-reviewed journals and theses) resulting from Fonds de recherche du Québec grants awarded after July 2022 must be made open through a repository or journal immediately
Finding open access journals
- Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) - A comprehensive directory listing free, full-text, quality-controlled scientific and scholarly journals, covering all subjects and languages. If choosing an open access journal, journal listing in DOAJ can be used as a positive indicator
- Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA)- If choosing an open access journal, journal membership in OASPA can be used as a positive indicator
