Insights & Signals
Policy Insights and Signals Reports scan the horizon in order to identify and analyse emerging trends and early signals for their potential to impact future policy directions in open access and open, social scholarship. They tend to highlight shifts in technology, public opinion and sentiments, and/or regulatory changes both within and outside of Canada. Like OSPO’s policy observations, insights and signals reports aim to support partners in crafting proactive, responsive, and forward-thinking strategies.
