In 2020, the federal Office of the Chief Science Advisor issued the Roadmap for Open Science, which outlined core principles and 10 recommendations to guide Open Science activities in Canada. The recommendations call for a phased and incremental adoption of Open Science approaches, which apply to all federally funded scientific and research outputs. Since a number of recommendations require direct action by federal science-based departments and agencies, science departments were asked to develop a responsive action plan articulating specific commitments and goals that respond to the Roadmap’s recommendations. This document outlines the NRC’s commitments and actions.
