What version of my manuscript should I upload to eScholarship?

Answer

Upload the final version of your paper accepted by the publisher, often called the author's final version or author's accepted manuscript.

The UC Open Access Policies name the author’s final version as the version of choice for deposit. However, if you published your article open access, you can likely post the publisher-formatted PDF, just check to make sure your article has a Creative Commons license. CC-BY is the suggested license for deposits to eScholarship.

For more details, visit the UC Open Access Policies FAQ.
