Advancing open scholarship at Simon Fraser University

In partnership with the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute, the Open Scholarship Framework at Simon Fraser University (SFU) has an ambitious goal: to make open practices the norm across disciplines and career stages at the university level. SFU is already a champion organization in open scholarship, with open access and open education initiatives led by SFU’s library and the hosting of the Public Knowledge Project, among many others. In this lightning talk we presented an overview of the existing open scholarship initiatives at the university, the gaps that we have identified, and how we are approaching the challenge of addressing them. As the first university in Canada to explore university-wide change, we hope to inspire other institutions and connect efforts across universities to nourish a true cross-Canadian open scholarship ecosystem.
