“There are indications that scholarly articles available in an open access version are more visible and are cited more often than those which are only available via the subscription journal gateway.”

The OA Libguide offers a wealth of information about open access for faculty, students and researchers, including links to the Directory of Open Access Journals and to institutional repositories, as well as copyright information for Canadian researchers and publisher and funder policies.
