State Research Grant Open Access Requirement

"Researchers who receive state agency research grant(s) after January 1, 2019 must make final peer-reviewed manuscripts generated from the grant available to the public through an online digital repository no later than 12 months after publication. To comply, you must do the following for peer-reviewed manuscripts accepted for publication and developed (wholly or partially) with funding from a state agency research grant:

 Provide the final manuscript version (after peer review but before publisher formatting) of your peer-reviewed articles to the funding agency and to an appropriate publicly accessible repository approved by the state agency (e.g. UC’s eScholarship Repository or PubMed Central), within 12 months after the official date of publication.

 Report to the state agency the final disposition of the peerreviewed manuscript, as detailed in the research grant.

 UC also has open access (OA) policies covering all its employees, and tools to support participation in those policies. If you have not gotten a UC OA policy waiver for a particular article, the UC policy’s nonexclusive copyright license to the university gives you the right to make the article available in eScholarship.
