By a unanimous vote, the UCSF Academic Senate has adopted an open access policy, making scholarly articles produced by its faculty freely available to the public. UCSF is the first UC campus and the largest scientific institution in the U.S. to adopt such a policy; it is also country’s leading public recipient of funds from the National Institutes of Health, which has its own public access policy. Under this new policy, UCSF faculty must make their articles available through an open-access repository such as UC eScholarship or the NIH-sponsored PubMed Central.
