Today the University of California expands the reach of its research publications by issuing a Presidential Open Access Policy, allowing future scholarly articles authored by all UC employees to be freely shared with readers worldwide.

Comprising ten campuses, five medical centers, and nearly 200,000 employees, the UC system is responsible for over 2% of the world's total research publications. UC's collective OA policies now cover more authors than any other institutional OA policy to date.
