This post introduces the Policy research scan, available open access via the Open Scholarship Press.. The Policy research scan follows and reflects policy developments related to open scholarship in Canada and beyond, analyzing policy changes and their relevance to researchers, information professionals, librarians, faculty, and policymakers. With roots in the Open Scholarship Policy Observatory, this resource takes a Canadian focus and an interest in the humanities and social sciences (HSS), but it takes a broad view, considering open scholarship as an international and interdisciplinary movement.
