UCSF’s Open Access Policy

On May 21, 2012, the UCSF Academic Senate voted to make electronic versions of their published articles freely available to the public. The unanimous vote of the faculty senate made UCSF the largest scientific institution in the nation to adopt an open-access policy and among the first public universities to do so. Come find out more about this policy and get your questions answered about what it means for researchers and for public access to research articles.
