Investing in the Future: A New Strategic Agreement for Diamond Open Access in Canada | Canadian Research Knowledge Network

"The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Érudit are proud to announce a new five-year agreement (2025–2029) for the Partnership for Open Access, with 57 participating libraries. This renewal represents an important step in the transition toward a fair, non-commercial and sustainable model for scholarly publishing in Canada....

Researchers, as well as members of the public, should be able to easily access the results of publicly funded research.
