Le gouvernement ouvert indique que les citoyens ont accès aux publications, registres et données du gouvernement, afin de permettre au public d’observer les activités du gouvernement et que le gouvernement soit ouvert à l’examen public. Souvent associé à la transparence et à la responsabilité, le gouvernement ouvert est largement considéré comme une caractéristique de la démocratie moderne. Le gouvernement ouvert permet également une diffusion plus efficace de l’information, ce qui facilite un niveau plus élevé d’engagement civique.

We welcome the opportunity to submit a response to the Investing in Canada’s Future report. We were glad of the government and advisory panel’s outreach in the year leading up to the report, and the opportunities to respond through organizations such as the Federation and Social Sciences and Humanities and others in the months that followed the report’s publication.

ORCID is a non-profit organization which provides a persistent identifier that distinguishes individual researchers within the global research ecosystem. Researchers register for a free, unique ORCID identifier through the ORCID.org web site, and then add their professional information; publications can be added manually, or automatically harvested from other systems such as Scopus, ResearcherID and LinkedIn.

The Tri-Agency Statement of Principles on Digital Data Management was jointly released by Canada’s three major federal funding agencies – the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) – in 2016. The statement of principles lays the groundwork for research data management mandates that are expected to come into effect in 2018. Canadian funders are following a larger global trend towards improving research data management. The Research Councils UK published their Common Principles on Data Policy in 2011. The US National Science Foundation has required all applicants to submit Data Management Plans since 2011.
