Making your research publications openly available enables researchers, students, policy makers, and the public worldwide to read and benefit from immediate, reliable, and practical information to help address global challenges and inspire future research. As a UC employee, UC’s open access policies empower you to make your scholarly articles freely available to anyone, anywhere, by depositing them in eScholarship, UC’s open access repository.

Deposit using the UC Publication Management System

The UC Publication Management System simplifies this deposit process. 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.

Don’t have access yet? Deposit directly to eScholarship

We are working to expand access to the UC Publication Management System in groups across the UC campuses. If you aren’t yet receiving emails asking you to claim and deposit publications in the UC Publication Management System, you can upload your publication directly to eScholarship. Select your campus below to begin the deposit process. (Note: you will be asked to log in. If you don’t yet have an eScholarship account, you will have the opportunity to create one.)
