Launched on April 28, 2010, PubMed Central Canada, the result of collaboration between CIHR, the Canada Institute of Scientific and Technical Information (CISIT) and the [U.S.] National Library of Medicine, will help researchers with CIHR funding to comply with the Policy on Access to Research Outputs via the PMC manuscript submission system. PMC Canada will provide Canadians a freely accessible national digital repository of the latest peer‐reviewed health and life sciences literature at their fingertips. It is a vital part of Canada’s research infrastructure giving researchers desktop access to a searchable, permanent and freely accessible archive of Canadian health research enabling them to translate that knowledge into solutions to important health issues. PMC Canada builds on PubMed Central (PMC), the archive developed by the US National Library of Medicine, and joins UK PubMed Central (UKPMC) as a member of the larger PMC International network. 27 Ensuring optimal researcher uptake of the innovative infrastructure and services that are being created to broaden the reach of their research will depend, in part, on successful educational/outreach initiatives to inform them of their rights as authors and of the options and best practices available to them. The Canadian Association of Research Libraries has produced a suite of communications materials detailing the advantages of open access 28 . The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) issued an important intellectual property advisory in the summer of 2008 to assist academic staff in retaining copyright ownership in the articles they publish in journals. Without copyright ownership, academic staff risk losing control of their own work and may not be entitled to email it to students and colleagues, use it for course reserve purposes, place it in an institutional repository, publish it in an open access journal or include it or parts of it in subsequent works. The CAUT IP advisory stresses the point that “Journals require only authors’ permission to publish an article, not a wholesale transfer of the full copyright interest. To promote scholarly communication, autonomy, integrity and academic freedom, and education and research activities more generally, it is important for academic staff to retain copyright in their journal articles. 29 ” 27 PubMed Central Canada http://pubmedcentralcanada.ca/ 28 Canadian Association of Research Libraries, Greater Reach for Your Research: Resources for Authors http://www.carl‐abrc.ca/projects/author/author‐e.html 29 Retaining Copyright in Journal Articles, CAUT Intellectual Property Advisory, July 2008 http://www.caut.ca/uploads/IP‐Advisory1‐en.pdf 10
Recommendation: The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (<strong>CARL</strong>) recommends that all stakeholders in Higher Education in Canada seriously explore how they can support Open Access by way of new publishing initiatives, OA policies, practices and institutional mandates. Work towards advancing open access in Canada could be manifested in but not necessarily be limited to: ‐ Collaboration between university research offices and libraries to educate researchers on copyright and author rights ‐ Consultations between all interested parties on the development of institutional mandates that will enable the university community to broadly disseminate the full range of its scholarly and creative products in a cost effective manner ‐ Consultation between granting agencies with a view to harmonizing open access policies that make it easy for researchers to render their research freely available on the internet whether that be by submitting article manuscripts to an open access publisher, depositing post‐refereed article manuscripts in an open digital repository, or using part of their funds towards article processing fees in a hybrid journal ‐ Initiation of a dialogue between various parties on campus – research administrators, researchers, librarians, to come to an agreement about the best way to modify current research, rewards and recognition mechanisms, and intellectual property policies in a manner that is consistent with the broadest possible dissemination of faculty research ‐ Dialogue between researchers, university administrators, librarians, granting council representatives, and publishers to arrive at an agreement over modification of publishing contracts permitting immediate or delayed access to peer‐reviewed research as well as placing embargoes (e.g. six months, twelve months) all in a manner that does not threaten the viability of journal publishers nor limit access to and use of research ‐ Investing in shared dissemination infrastructure where such opportunities may exist ‐ Fostering partnerships between university research offices, libraries, and university presses to experiment with low cost/broad dissemination models ‐ Experimenting with open access author funds 11
