Aid to Scholarly Journals

After a one-year delay of the ASJ competition, the renewed program is launching with revised parameters, supporting the transition from delayed to immediate open access.
 
Aid to Scholarly Journals grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight research program. The grants support Canadian scholarly research and dissemination by offering a contribution to enable journals to defray the costs associated with publishing open access scholarly articles and digital journal dissemination.
 
Aid to Scholarly Journals grants are meant to:
 
- enable the dissemination, discoverability and mobilization of original research results in the social sciences and humanities through Canadian scholarly journals;
- increase research capacity by facilitating knowledge sharing and the development of scholarly communities, particularly in areas relevant to Canada;
- assist journals in taking advantage of developments in digital technologies and innovative practices;
- promote best practices in open access scholarly publishing; and
- encourage the transition to immediate open access publishing.

 Three years of funding: $42,400 per year (for emerging journals); $52,000 per year (for established journals)
