Pharmacy Resident Paper Submission

Many scholarly works contain content created by third parties (i.e., other authors and publishers). It is your responsibility to ensure that all content in your residency paper is compliant with the Copyright Act of Canada.

Please refer to the following resources to help you get started:

• Copyright at Waterloo
• Copyright – Frequently Asked Questions
• Third-party content use and specialized content submission page

We’re here to help! Contact copyright@uwaterloo.ca with any copyright-related questions.

All research deposited in UWSpace is openly accessible unless otherwise noted by the researcher. This may affect your ability to publish research from your residency paper.

Some publishers may consider your openly available residency paper to be a “previously published work,” even after the work is formatted per publisher guidelines.

Consider contacting the publisher or reviewing the submission guidelines page to see if there are any rules regarding republication.

If publication is jeopardized resulting from the immediate open access of your work, please request an embargo be placed on your residency paper.

An embargo is a set length of time in which access to a scholarly work is closed.

This is sometimes done to protect the right of first publication in a journal, or to provide paid subscribers with priority access to the submission. If you would like to publish, or are in the process of publishing your work, consider applying an embargo to your residency paper if this is required by your publisher.

Residents have the option of selecting a 4-month, one year, or two-year embargo period. Embargo periods will be set from the date of form submission. Contact your residency administrator if you would like to extend your embargo after your initial embargo period expires.

See the Selecting Journals for Publication module for further information. If you have any further questions regarding journal selection, please contact your liaison librarian, Caitlin Carter, for support.
