ScholarshipOpen Access
CARL libraries are dedicated to improved disseminationofresearch.Asanoriginalsignatoryof the 2002 Budapest declaration, CARL believes that researchers should be able to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to the full textofarticles,crawlthearticlesforindexing,pass them as data to software, or use them for anyotherlawfulpurposeswithoutexpectationofpayment(seeBudapest Open Access Initiativehttp://www.soros.org/openaccess/read.shtml).
Followingextensiveconsultations,withCARLandothers,theCanadianInstitutesofHealthResearch(CIHR)announceditsPolicy on Access to Research Outputs.AsofJanuary2008,CIHR-funded researchers will make the peer-reviewed articlestheywrite“freelyaccessiblethroughthePublisher’swebsiteoranonlinerepositorywithinsixmonthsofpublication.”CARLwelcomed this policy and will offer to assist in its implementation.
CARLcollaboratedwiththeScholarlyPublishingandAcademicResourcesCoalition(SPARC)toproducetheSPARCCanadianAuthorAddendum.TheAddendumhelpsauthorsnegotiatewithpublisherstoretaincertainrightssuchas,forexample,todepositacopyofajournalarticleinanonline Institutional Repository to make the work openly and permanently accessible.
