Canada introduced the Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications[1] in May 2015 to mandate open access to research articles funded by Canada's three major research agencies: the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council[2] (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council[3] (SSHRC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research[4] (CIHR). CIHR has had an open access policy[5] since 2008 and the new Tri-Agency policy is largely based on CIHR's pre-existing policy.

The policy stipulates that peer-reviewed journal articles produced from funded research must be made open access within 12 months of publication by either:

Applicability

The policy affects Tri-Agency grants awarded on or after May 1, 2015 All funded researchers are affected except graduate students and postdoctoral fellows Only peer-reviewed journal articles are covered by the policy: other research outputs such as books or media, are not affected Only postprints or final published articles may be archived in a subject or institutional repository; other article versions, e.g. preprints, are not acceptable[6]

Compliance

Enforcement of the Tri-Agency policy has not been explicitly described. Compliance with the CIHR open access policy has been managed in conjunction with the Research Reporting Service.[7]
