A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
In January 2011, the Faculty of Graduate and Postgraduate Studies introduced an open access requirement for all theses and dissertations. All masters and doctoral level theses and dissertations are available in a collection in uO Research, uOttawa’s institutional repository for digital scholarly works, developed and maintained by the Library. uOttawa has had an Open Access program since 2008 and while there is no formal mandate, we strongly encourage faculty to deposit their articles and other scholarly output. In particular, those researchers who have received grants from the Tri-Agencies are now mandated to make their articles available in open access. To this end we encourage deposit in uO Research. In November 2016 the Library adopted a policy to ensure that scholarship produced by its staff is widely disseminated, openly available, and accessible.
