About the UC Open Access Policies

(1 min. video)

Basic Definitions:

Observing the OA policy

This is a checklist of what you need to do:

  • Publish, as you would, in any journal. Agree to normal publication contracts.
  • Have at the ready the correct pre-publication version of your paper (this is the author’s final version, post peer review--see information about versions: FAQ - How do I know I'm depositing the right version?). This is the version that you will upload to eScholarship. (Note: Keep track of versions regardless of whether you are the first author or a co-author).
  • When to contact the library: If you have any questions or if the publisher asks for a waiver to the UC Open Access Policy. Contact us at research@library.ucsc.edu or get answers on the Office of Scholarly Communication’s website.

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
