Open scholarship and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) scholarly practices support the efficient dissemination of knowledge to researchers, students, policymakers and the broader public, facilitate faster scientific discovery and problem-solving, and underpin research integrity.
Open and FAIR scholarly practices are continually innovating. CAUL facilitates collaboration between libraries, funders, policymakers, publishers, and research communities to respond to the need for continual innovation.
The Advancing Open Scholarship program encompassed various initiatives, including advocacy work and projects designed to advance the open agenda through bodies of work with practical outcomes.
The program built on CAUL’s earlier FAIR, Affordable, and Open Access to Knowledge program. It is succeeded by the Open Access Program (2023-2025).
