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.

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.
