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 (NRC). 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.
