Create Change Canada

A Canadian Spin on Open Access

Create Change was launched earlier this year and provides a much-needed Canadian spin on scholarly publishing and ways that scholars can help move the academic publishing model to a more sensible spot. From the announcement:

The Create Change Web site focuses on the fact that the ways faculty share and use academic research results are changing rapidly and irreversibly. The site outlines how faster and wider sharing of journal articles, research data, simulations, syntheses, analyses, and other findings fuels the advance of knowledge. It offers practical ways faculty can look out for their own interests as researchers. Create Change Canada introduces the Canadian voice on policy issues and highlights Canadian researcher experiences in English and in French.
