The University of California (UC) open access (OA) policies enable all UC employees to make their scholarly articles freely available to anyone, anywhere, by depositing them in eScholarship, UC’s open access repository. Learn more about the benefits of OA.

Deposit using the UC Publication Management System

The UC Publication Management System simplifies the process of depositing into eScholarship. The system searches multiple publication databases for publications which may be yours; every two weeks, the system sends you an email if it finds new works for you to verify and deposit. You can also access the system at any time by going to oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu.

All UC employees should have login access to the UC Publication Management System. If you are unable to log into the system, reach out to your campus open access policy support team for assistance.
