Overview

Foundational Observations: Open Scholarship Policy Observatory, 2017-2020 is a book-length compendium of reflections on issues pertinent to the open scholarship movement. This volume, currently in progress, is intended to facilitate understanding of open social scholarship across Canada and internationally, as an aid to influence and implement policy around knowledge mobilization. In doing so, it reflects pertinent policies and their impact across research communities; signals trends and current research; and offers a broad and deep foundation for the development of policy recommendations on important issues, including identity management, open access, data management, citizen science, and other related areas.
