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.

L’équipe de la plateforme Érudit et les membres du Public Knowledge Project veulent signifier, par la présente, leur appui formel et enthousiaste à l’Appel de Jussieu pour la science ouverte et la bibliodiversité. Les deux organismes, qui développent depuis 2017 une infrastructure de recherche ouverte et interopérable (projet CO-SHS) ainsi qu’un modèle de financement pérenne du libre accès basé sur des partenariats avec les bibliothèques de recherche (Partenariat pour le libre accès, Coalition Publi.ca), croient qu’il est urgent de redéfinir les rapports de forces dans le milieu de la publication savante pour une circulation libre des savoirs.
