SSHRC Aid to Scholarly Journals - Update on Delay of Next Funding Opportunity
SSHRC has announced that the next Aid to Scholarly Journals (ASJ) competition will be delayed from summer 2024 to summer 2025, as they say that this delay will allow more time for engagement with the research and journal communities and other stakeholders as the three federal research funding agencies (SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR) conduct a review of the current Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications with the goal of making any peer-reviewed journal articles resulting from agency-supported research freely available, without subscription fee, at the time of publication. That new OA policy will be released by the end of 2025.
For more information please visit the SSHRC ASJ website, and for any questions please contact scholarlyjournals@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca.
