The release mentions:
"... grant recipients must make every effort to ensure that their peer-reviewed research articles are freely available as soon as possible after publication. This can be achieved by depositing the article in an archive, such as PubMed Central or an institutional repository ..."

Just to let you know, the University has an institutional repository - DSpace - https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/

If you have any questions about archiving your material in DSpace, please contact Shawna Sadler, Digital Initiatives Coordinator:
