A precursor to this policy was adopted by the <a href="http://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/open-access-policy/policy-text/ucsf-senate/">UCSF Academic Senate on May 21, 2012</a>.</p><p>On October 23, 2015, a <a href="http://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/open-access-policy/policy-text/presidential/">Presidential Open Access Policy</a> expanded open access rights and responsibilities to all other authors who write scholarly articles while employed at UC, including non-senate researchers, lecturers, post-doctoral scholars, administrative staff, librarians, and graduate students.</p><h2>How do I comply with these policies?</h2><p>The UC open access policies require that UC faculty and other employees provide a copy of their scholarly articles for inclusion in eScholarship or provide a link to an open version of their articles elsewhere.<strong><br></strong></p><p>The <a href="https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu">UC Publication Management System</a> simplifies this 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 to verify and deposit. <strong>Access the system at any time at: <a href="https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu">https://oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu</a></strong></p><p>If you are unable to log into the system, please reach out to your <a href="https://help.oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu/support/tickets/new">campus open access policy support team</a>. In the meantime, you can choose to immediately deposit articles using <a href="/">eScholarship's submission form</a>. <br></p><h2>What are the benefits of participating in the Open Access Policies?</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Good for authors</strong>: Open access research is read and cited more than access-restricted scholarship, increasing the academic impact of and public engagement with your ideas.</p></li><li><p><strong>Good for readers</strong>: The University of California's Open Access Policies extend the University's public mission to share broadly — throughout California, the nation, and the world — the research and knowledge produced at our campuses. <a href="https://help.escholarship.org/support/solutions/articles/9000133469">Learn how readers find eScholarship content</a>. <br></p></li></ul><h2>Learn more<br></h2><ul><li><p><a href="http://uc-oa.info/">About UC's Open Access Policies</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://help.oapolicy.universityofcalifornia.edu/support/home">View a guide to depositing and using the UC Publication Management System</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://uc-oa.info/policy-faq/">Read answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the OA Policies</a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://uc-oa.info/waiver-embargo-addendum/">Get a waiver or embargo, if your publisher requires it</a></p></li></ul></div></section></main><aside><div><section class="o-columnbox1"><header><h2>Recent Articles</h2></header><ul class="c-relateditems"><li><h3><a class="o-textlink__secondary" href="/uc/item/8wb8z3xg"><div class="c-clientmarkup">Assessing Metabolic Differences Associated with Exposure to Polybrominated Biphenyl and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in the Michigan PBB Registry.</div></a></h3><div class="c-authorlist"><ul class="c-authorlist__list"><li class="c-authorlist__begin"><a href="/search/?q=author%3AHoffman%2C%20Susan">Hoffman, Susan</a>;
