Health Sciences Campus Becomes Largest in Nation to Adopt Open-access Policy
The UCSF Academic Senate has voted to make electronic versions of current and
future scientific articles freely available to the public, helping to reverse
decades of practice on the part of medical and scientific journal publishers to
restrict access to research results.
The unanimous vote of the faculty senate makes UCSF the largest scientific
institution in the nation to adopt an open-access policy and among the first
public universities to do so.
