The Academic Senate of the University of California
passed an Open Access Policy in July 2013
ensuring that future research articles
authored by faculty at all 10 UC campuses
will be made publicly available
at no charge.
This means you can now share your work
broadly and easily with anyone in the world
And that means:
greater recognition of your research
more thorough engagement with your ideas
and an increase in scientific, scholarly,
and critical knowledge in our world.
So what do you need to do?
Faculty at UC Irvine, UCLA, or UCSF
should deposit all articles published after July 24, 2013
in eScholarship, UC's open access repository.
Faculty on other campuses may also deposit
but are not required to until next fall.
Deposit is simple.
Select your campus
enter a few identifying details about your material
such as title, author name(s), and discipline
and upload a copy of your article.
If your article is already openly available
just let us know where.
And if you need a waiver, embargo,
or Creative Commons license, we can help with that.
Finally, stay tuned
for a new publication harvesting tool
that will make your participation in this policy
even easier!
