Preamble
The Faculty of the University of California is committed to disseminating its
research and scholarship as widely as possible. In particular, as part of a public
university system, the Faculty is dedicated to making its scholarship available to
the people of California and the world. Furthermore, the Faculty recognizes the
benefits that accrue to themselves as individual scholars and to the scholarly
enterprise from such wide dissemination, including greater recognition, more
thorough review, consideration and critique, and a general increase in scientific,
scholarly and critical knowledge. Faculty further recognize that by this policy, and
with the assistance of the University, they can more easily and collectively
reserve rights that might otherwise be signed away, often unnecessarily, in
agreements with publishers. In keeping with these considerations, and for the
primary purpose of making our scholarly articles widely and freely accessible,
the Faculty adopts the following policy:
Grant of License and Limitations
Each Faculty member grants to the University of California a nonexclusive,
irrevocable, worldwide license to exercise any and all rights under copyright
relating to each of his or her scholarly articles, in any medium, and to authorize
others to do the same, for the purpose of making their articles widely and freely
available in an open access repository. Any other systematic uses of the
licensed articles by the University of California must be approved by the
Academic Senate. This policy does not transfer copyright ownership, which
remains with Faculty authors under existing University of California policy.
Scope and Waiver (Opt-Out)
The policy applies to all scholarly articles authored or co-authored while the
person is a member of the Faculty except for any articles published before the
adoption of this policy and any articles for which the Faculty member entered
into an incompatible licensing or assignment agreement before the adoption of
this policy. Upon express direction by a Faculty member, the University of
California will waive the license for a particular article or delay access to the
article for a specified period of time.
Deposit of Articles
To assist the University in disseminating and archiving the articles, Faculty
commit to helping the University obtain copies of the articles. Specifically, each
Faculty member who does not permanently waive the license above will provide
an electronic copy of his or her final version of the article to the University of
California by the date of its publication, for inclusion in an open access
repository. When appropriate, a Faculty member may instead notify the
University of California if the article will be freely available in another repository
or as an open-access publication. Faculty members who have permanently
waived the license may nonetheless deposit a copy with the University of
