The Concordia University has announced that its academic community has passed a landmark Senate Resolution on Open Access. The resolution encourages all of its faculty and students to make their peer-reviewed research and creative output freely accessible via the internet.
Concordia claims to be the first major university in Canada where faculty has given their overwhelming support to a concerted effort to make full results of their research universally available.
In 2009, Concordia launched Spectrum, an open access digital repository that continues to grow beyond its initial 6,000 dissertations submitted at Concordia, and at its predecessors Sir George Williams University and Loyola College. The Senate Resolution encourages all of Concordia’s researchers to deposit their research and creative work in Spectrum.
