CRKN is delighted to share that the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) have announced upcoming enhancements to their Convergence platform—including integration with ORCID!
We frequently hear from members about the importance of integrating ORCID into Canadian funder systems, and many view this as a key step in advancing the adoption of persistent identifiers (PIDs) across Canada.
CRKN and the ORCID-CA Consortium are pleased to welcome the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) to the ORCID Canada Consortium.
The CFI works to increase the capability of Canada’s universities, colleges, research hospitals and non-profit research organizations to carry out high quality research by investing in research infrastructure.
CRKN and the ORCID-CA Consortium are pleased to welcome Bishop’s University to the ORCID Canada Consortium!
The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the recent revised Tri-Agency Draft Open Access Policy on Publications.
The CRKN Executive Committee seeks nominations for the Board of Directors who will ensure that CRKN is governed to meet member needs and to drive towards CRKN’s mission and vision. The nominations and election process are set out in the CRKN By-laws under sections 6.2(a-f).
The CRKN Member Summit and AGM will take place from Tuesday, October 21 to Thursday, October 23, 2025, in Halifax, NS at Hotel Halifax (1990 Barrington St.)
We hope that you will join the CRKN Board, committees, and staff for this opportunity to participate in vital conversations on how we can continue to build a strong future for CRKN and our programs, with the goal of making knowledge accessible to all.
The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) has partnered with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) to add 94 issues of Science Dimension to Canadiana. Issues run from the publication’s beginning in 1969 until 1984, and document scientific research undertaken by the NRC and by scientists across Canada.
Canadian chemistry research publications will now be more openly available through a new three-year read and publish agreement between the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC).
The CRKN Board of Directors is pleased to welcome the National Research Council Canada (NRC) as an associate member, bringing the CRKN community up to 89 members. Approved at the 2024 Annual General Meeting, this institution is now participating in CRKN’s content licensing program.
