Open Research (openresearch.ocadu.ca) is a digital archive managed by the University Library to collect, preserve, and distribute scholarly and creative output generated by the OCAD U community.
Open Research would like to collaborate with faculty and research groups who are interested in depositing their works, past and present. Depositors must possess copyright for submitted items or obtain permission from publishers/copyright owners. Assistance with verifying rights is available.
Contact Chris Landry, Scholarly Communications Librarian for assistance or consult our Deposit Guide for instructions on how to deposit your own work.
By making your research available in Open Research you are increasing exposure to your work, which can lead to increased citation of research overall.
Open Research is managed by your library and ensures the long-term storage and preservation.
Quality metadata, indexing by Google, and inclusion in directories such as OpenDOAR provide multiple points of access to your research. Additionally, inclusion in Open Research gives your work context through its inclusion in a thematic repository while providing a complementary mode of distribution.
Recipients of grants from the Tri-Agencies (SSHRC, NSERC, and CIHR) are now required to ensure that any peer-reviewed journal publication arising from Agency-supported research is freely available within 12 months of publication. Depositing an article or a post-print manuscript to Open Research will fulfill this requirement.
We do our best to accommodate all item types. Types of research output we accept include:
