UC launches new eScholarship postprint service

The University of California recently launched its new eScholarship postprints service designed to increase access to articles written by UC faculty.

"The eScholarship postprint service gives UC faculty an important new opportunity to manage their peer-reviewed research publications so they can be accessed worldwide by anyone with an Internet connection," said George Blumenthal, chair of UC's University-wide Academic Senate, professor of astronomy and astrophysics. "This kind of broad access is vital to scholarly communication and to the formation and support of global research and learning communities."

The postprints are fully searchable, are free and are maintained in a centrally managed database. The established popularity of the repository, with more than one million full-text downloads of content since 2002, makes it an ideal venue for faculty to reach new audiences of researchers, according to a UC news release.
