How to Submit Content to eScholarship

Faculty, staff and researchers at UCSF can deposit their content with eScholarship in 3 ways:

Participate in the UCSF Open Access Policy by archiving your previously published paper

We are currently working to develop an intuitive, easy method for UCSF faculty to deposit their previously published papers. This deposit mechanism will be available by Fall 2013. Check this site again at that time to learn how you can participate in the policy by depositing your manuscript.

In the mean time, if you need to request and embargo, addendum or waiver related to the policy, go to the Open Access Policy Options page. You can also learn more about the policy on the Reshaping Scholarly Communications website.

Add content to your department or research unit's collection

Many UCSF departments and research units showcase the scholarly output of their faculty and researchers on eScholarship. These pages are a great place to display your previously published papers, working papers, monographs & books, conference procedings, media files and datasets. Each department or unit has its own guidelines for acceptable materials, so the first step is to find a space for your content in our listing of UCSF departments and research units. Can't find your department or research unit? Learn how to start a new collection on eScholarship here.
