''FRQ Open Access Dissemination Policy'' (2022), published by Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), sets national expectations for open science and open access in Canada, aligning them with international standards. Written in French and English, it establishes openness as the default while balancing ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and security, guided by the principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary.” The policy emphasizes open access publishing through repositories, Creative Commons licensing, persistent identifiers, and FAIR data principles supported by data management plans. It outlines responsibilities for researchers, institutions, and funders, including rights retention, funding acknowledgment, and transparency for embargoes or exceptions. Infrastructure such as repositories, discovery services, and registries underpins compliance and visibility, while alignment with initiatives like Plan S and national networks ensures interoperability. Equity, multilingual communication, and responsible openness are cross-cutting themes, with safeguards for sensitive and Indigenous data. Serving as a benchmark and checklist, the policy offers actionable steps to enhance transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access to research across Canada.
