An important new read-and-publish agreement will support Open Science and improve the accessibility of published research from scientists in Health Canada (HC) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
This transformational agreement with Springer, the first of its kind in Canada, means that HC and PHAC authors can now make their publications immediately open in hybrid “Open Choice” subscription journals in Springer, Adis, Palgrave and Academic Journals imprints, under a Creative Commons licence. As of Saturday, January 1, 2022, articles with HC/PHAC corresponding authors accepted in Springer hybrid journals will automatically be eligible to have the article processing charges (APCs) covered by the Health Library through this new agreement. If your article is accepted in any of the eligible journals, it will be published immediately as Open Access with no embargo period. Learn more about the Springer agreement.
Please consult the instructions for submitting Open Access articles to Springer journals and the complete list of eligible Open Choice hybrid journals (XLSX, 298.52 KB).
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Health Library.
