Q. Does making a version of my article available on my own website meet the conditions of the Tri-Agency Open Access Policy on Publications?

Please note that making a version of your article available on your own website does not meet the conditions of the policy. The Tri-Agency FAQ states: "Although making articles available on a personal website is permissible, the Agencies require that a copy also be made available through an online repository or journal within 12 months to reach a broad audience more effectively and to ensure long-term accessibility."
