Deep Roots, Big Impact

Our origins date back to 1929, when the National Research Council of Canada launched the Canadian Journal of Research. Today, Canadian Science Publishing has grown to become Canada’s largest publisher of international scientific journals. Learn about our history.

We publish 24 journals that cover the spectrum of natural and physical sciences and engineering, including three open access journals that are interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Learn more about our journals

As a mission-driven organization, we are dedicated to meeting the needs of the global research community. We are proudly affiliated with over 25 Canadian and international scientific societies and associations.

Scholarly publishers are facing transformative changes.

What’s on our minds?

  • Sustainable open access models—We are exploring new ways to support open access to realize our Vision.
  • Peer review recognition—We are partners with Publons. We are here because of the invaluable contributions of dedicated volunteers.
  • Impact beyond the impact factor—We track articles with Altmetric. We move science to its diverse users.
  • Authorship and licencing—We endorse CRediT taxonomy. Authors always retain rights to their work.
  • Financial strains on libraries—We offer flexible pricing options, including title-by-title acquisition and discounted bundles. We help libraries build collections based on the needs of their community.
