Canadian Science Publishing (CSP) is Canada's largest publisher of international scientific journals. It started in 1929 as the NRC Research Press, part of the National Research Council (NCR). In 2010, the organization spun off from NRC and was incorporated as a not-for-profit. As of 2018, CSP has published about 2,300 articles annually in 24 journals distributed to over 125 countries.[1] CSP has 50 staff members, and, according to the website Owler, its annual revenue is about US$3.7M.[2] All of CSP's journals are produced and delivered in both HTML and PDF formats, is connected to scientific literature, included in all major indexes, and archived through both CLOCKSS and Portico.[1]

Open access

Canadian Science Publishing has a range of options for open access choices. The options include an OpenArticle program, which permits authors and/or research funding agencies to sponsor online open access of their article; auto-deposit of accepted manuscripts into the University of Toronto TSpace, a free and secure research repository; and lastly an adoption of a Creative Commons CC BY, so authors can meet their funder's requirement while publishing in their preferred journal.[1]

Also, CSP publishes three interdisciplinary open access journals: Arctic Science, an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on research about northern polar regions; FACETS, Canada’s first open access multidisciplinary science journa;, and Anthropocene Coasts.

CSP strives to make their content accessible through the CSP blog, which includes plain language summaries of featured research. The open-access journal FACETS similarly publishes plain language summaries.

Publications

Main category: Canadian Science Publishing academic journals

CSP publishes the following journals:[3]

  1. Anthropocene Coasts: is an open access multidisciplinary international journal that brings together diverse fields of study to tackle complex issues related to coastal regions in the Anthropocene.
  2. Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism: focuses on the application of physiology, nutrition, and metabolism to the study of human health, physical activity, and fitness.[3]
  3. Arctic Science: publishes original peer-reviewed research from all areas of natural science and applied science and engineering related to northern Polar Regions.[3]
  4. Biochemistry and Cell Biology: explores general biochemistry and includes up-to-date coverage of experimental research into cellular and molecular biology in eukaryotes, as well as review articles on topics of current interest and notes contributed by recognized international experts.
  5. Botany: features comprehensive research articles and notes in all segments of plant sciences, including cell and molecular biology, ecology, mycology and plant-microbe interactions, phycology, physiology and biochemistry, structure and development, genetics, genomics, systematics, and phytogeography.
  6. Canadian Geotechnical Journal: features new developments in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering and applied sciences.
  7. Canadian Journal of Animal Science: contains new research on all aspects of animal agriculture and animal products, including breeding and genetics; cellular and molecular biology; growth and development; meat science; modelling animal systems; physiology and endocrinology; ruminant nutrition; non-ruminant nutrition; and welfare, behaviour, and management
  8. Canadian Journal of Chemistry: reports current research findings in all branches of chemistry. It includes the traditional areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical-theoretical chemistry and newer interdisciplinary areas such as materials science, spectroscopy, chemical physics, and biological, medicinal and environmental chemistry as well as research in chemistry education.
