The institution's open access policy:
HEC Montréal professors produce an important number of results and conduct research using public and private funds. Due to the nature of Canadian university research funding, most research results and publications are made available to the public to receive funding. Neverthelessm in accordance with its mission, HEC Montréal is committed to share with the society the results from its community research. HEC Montréal must respect the academic liberty of its professor, and cannot firmly impose to its researchers to make their articles or publications publicly available due to the nature of publisher’s rules and embargo, its Intellectual Property Policy principle makes it clear that researchers are strongly encouraged to share with the society the content they develop.
Intellectual property policy is based on funding values and principles of actions. Funding values include the academic liberty, the respect of the school mission and the public interest. The first principle explicitly requires researchers the share what they create: “Principle 1 – All contributors are responsible for transferring to the society the results of their research.”
