Description

Aid to Scholarly Journals grants are expected to respond to the objectives of the Insight research program. The grants support Canadian scholarly research and dissemination by offering a contribution to enable journals to defray the costs associated with publishing open access scholarly articles and digital journal dissemination.

Aid to Scholarly Journals grants are meant to:

• – enable the dissemination, discoverability and mobilization of original research results in the social sciences and humanities through Canadian scholarly journals;
• – increase research capacity by facilitating knowledge sharing and the development of scholarly communities, particularly in areas relevant to Canada;
• – assist journals in taking advantage of developments in digital technologies and innovative practices;
• – promote best practices in open access scholarly publishing; and
• – encourage the transition to immediate open access publishing.

Application deadline: September 10, 2025 (8 p.m. eastern)
