eScholarship: UC’s Platform for Preserving and Openly Sharing Research
The UC Davis Library and Office of Research encourage UC Davis researchers and scholars to utilize eScholarship, the University of California’s open access repository and scholarly publishing platform to preserve and disseminate their research.
Managed by the California Digital Library on behalf of the ten UC campus libraries, eScholarship offers a suite of services that empower UC scholars to directly control the preservation and dissemination of their research.
By depositing works in eScholarship, researchers can ensure that their research reaches a global audience without barriers to access. The platform supports a wide range of content, including:
- Postprints
- Working papers
- Electronic theses and dissertations
- Student capstone projects
- Seminar/conference proceedings
Its open access model not only increases the visibility and impact of research findings, but also aligns with the broader academic movement towards freely accessible scholarly communication and contributes to the University of California’s mission of advancing knowledge, preserving the scholarly record, and serving the public good.
To take advantage of eScholarship’s offerings, UC Davis scholars can deposit their work directly into the repository, ensuring long-term preservation and widespread dissemination. The platform also provides publishing and production tools, including a full editorial and peer review system.
