The University of California is committed to making it easier and more affordable for UC authors to publish open access.
The UC libraries negotiate agreements with scholarly journal publishers to reduce the amount authors must pay when they choose to publish open access. Most agreements offer up to full coverage of the open access fees; others offer a discount.
For more information about UC’s open access agreements, read the General FAQ for UC Open Access Agreements.
