\nABSTRACT  \nThe advent of policies at research-funding organizations requiring grantees to make their funded research openly accessible alters the lifecycle of scholarly research. This survey-based study explores the approaches that libraries and research administration ofﬁces at the major Canadian universities are employing to support the research-production cycle in an open access era and, in particular, to support researcher adherence to funder open-access requirements. Responses from 21 universities indicated that librarians feel a strong sense of mandate to carry out open access-related activities and provide research supports, while research administrators have a lower sense of mandate and awareness and instead focus largely on assisting researchers with securing grant funding. Canadian research universities already contain infrastructure that could be leveraged to support open access, but maximizing these opportunities requires that research administration ofﬁces and university libraries work together more synergistically than they have done traditionally.  \n2 CJHE / RCES Volume 39, No. 3, 2009  \nRÉSUMÉ  \nL’apparition de politiques provenant d’organismes de ﬁnancement en recherches qui obligent les récipiendaires de rendre les résultats deleur recherche libre à l’accès, a un impacte sur le cycle de vie dela recherche académique. Ce sondage national en ligne explore les mesures prises par les bibliothèques et les administrateurs universitaires de la recherche oeuvrant dans des grandes universités du Canada pour appuyer le cycle de production de recherche dans une ère d’accès libre, et en particulier les mesures appuyant l’adhésion des chercheurs aux exigences d’accès libre de leur agence subventionnaire. Les réponses dela part de 21 universités canadiennes indiquent que les bibliothécaires sont fortement motivées à offrir des activités reliées à l’accès libre ainsi qu’à offrir de l’appui à la recherche, tandis que les administrateursdémontrent un engagement moins élevé à cet égard et se concentrent principalement à aider les chercheurs à obtenir des subventions. Les universités canadiennes de recherche possèdent déjà des infrastructures pouvant être exploitées pour soutenir l’accès libre. Cependant, aﬁn de maximiser ces opportunités, cela nécessitera un travail partagé entre les bibliothécaires et les administrateurs de la recherche qui est beaucoup plus conjoint qu’antérieurement.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn an attempt to improve the impact of research outputs and make the beneﬁts of strategic research investments available to stakeholders and the world at large, major research-funding organizations have begun to require that products of the research they fund be made openly accessible. In Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is the largest among the funders that have adopted such a policy (Canadian Institutes of Health Research, 2007), and other major research council requirements may not be far behind. The advent of such research-funder policies on a sizable scale is likely to signiﬁcantly alter the life cycle of scholarly research by involving new players, such as open-access repositories within and outside of universities, and creating new steps in the research cycle, such as self-archiving of published articles and data.  \nCanadian funding-body policies that require open access target individual grant recipients, rather than grantee home institutions. However, universities play a signiﬁcant role in s","cbCaikLf78jNCcx6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikLf78jNCcx6","pdf",138851,32,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"What policy change drives the study’s focus on open access?\",\"answer\":\"Major research-funding organizations now require grantees to make funded research outputs openly accessible, altering the scholarly research lifecycle.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study describe university support for open-access compliance?\",\"answer\":\"It examines approaches used by libraries and research administration offices to support the research-production cycle and help researchers meet funder open-access requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"What differences did responses show between librarians and research administrators?\",\"answer\":\"Librarians reported a stronger sense of mandate and provide research supports, while research administrators showed lower awareness and focus more on assisting researchers with grant funding.\"}]","University Supports for Open Access: A Canadian National Survey | PDF",1792085069,81]
