eScholarship

eScholarship is a digital publishing initiative of the University of California, leading to the dissemination of scholarly work produced by the faculty and staff of the University of California campuses. It provides a platform for researchers to share their work in open access, making it freely available to a global audience. The service supports a wide range of scholarly content, including articles, books, dissertations, conference proceedings, and research data.

The primary goal of eScholarship is to promote and preserve scholarly output from the University of California. By offering open access, it aims to increase the visibility and impact of research, foster collaboration, and contribute to the broader academic and public good. The repository is managed by the California Digital Library and is an integral part of the University of California's commitment to open scholarship.

eScholarship handles the technical aspects of digital publishing, including archiving, indexing, and providing persistent identifiers for the deposited works. This ensures that research remains discoverable and accessible over the long term. Authors retain copyright to their work, allowing for its wide distribution while acknowledging the source. The platform adheres to established digital preservation standards.
