Advancing the transition to open access
Championing Change in Journal Negotiations
UCSF and the University of California system have transformative open access publishing agreements and publishing discounts with a broad range of scholarly publishers, including large commercial journal publishers as well as society, not-for-profit, and fully open access publishers.
- UC/UCSF agreements with ACS, Biochemical Society, Cambridge, Cold Springer Harbor Lab, Elsevier, JMIR, PLOS, Springer Nature, and more.
The UC Libraries and Faculty Senate offer a toolkit for negotiating open access publishing agreements and provide extensive documentation on UC’s publisher deals with Elsevier and other publishers.
Resources for Transitioning Journals to Open Access
Resources from the UC Office of Scholarly Communication to support journal editors, publishers and organizations in facilitating a transition to open access (OA).
Making Theses and Dissertations Accessible
All theses and dissertations (ETDs) published by UCSF Graduate Division students since 2007 are now freely available on eScholarship, UC’s open publishing platform. Most theses & dissertations from before this date have been digitized and are being released on eScholarship. In 2020, UC passed a policy for open access to all UC theses and dissertations.
Faculty Declaration of Rights & Principles
UC Academic Senate faculty devised 18 bold principles to transform scholarly communication into a more open, transparent, and fair system and to give faculty more control over their research outputs.
UCSF's Commitment to Freely Accessible Journals
UCSF signed the Open Access 2020 Expression of Interest, indicating its intention to pursue a transformation of subscription journals to OA.
