Open Access (OA) allows researchers to disseminate their publications in digital and free of charge (to the reader) publications or repositories. OA maximizes accessibility and impact of academic work and is often required for certain funding opportunities.

The University of Regina Library can support researchers wanting to create Open Access Journals, or transfer existing Open Access journals to a different platform.

There are several tools available to help researchers maximize the impact of their research. Researchers may want to:

• sign up for an ORCID id, a unique persistent digital identifier that ensures that distinguishes them from others with similar names and creates an authoritative record of a researcher’s work that is interoperable with many granting and publishing systems.
• set up profiles in ResearchID and/or Google Scholar to track citations to their published work and view associated metrics.
• use tools like Altmetric it to track non-traditional impacts of their research.
• consult Journal Citation Reports (JCR) when making decisions about choosing a journal for publication.
