Canadian Science Publishing (CSP) and the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) have announced a new transformative open access publishing agreement that offers unlimited open access publishing in five CSP journals, and a 25 percent discount on article processing charges (APCs) in 14 additional CSP journals, for corresponding authors from participating CRKN member institutions.
This three-year agreement is an essential first step to a “made in Canada” approach to the publication of open access research, and will strengthen the research ecosystem by enabling Canadian authors to publish with a Canadian not-for-profit publisher with fewer barriers. The agreement enables corresponding authors affiliated with the 44 participating CRKN member institutions to publish free and unlimited open access in the following five CSP journals: Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Canadian Journal of Physics, Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology, Genome, and Transactions of the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering.
Authors will also receive a 25 percent discount on APCs in 14 other CSP journals.
