The California Digital Library (CDL), on behalf of the University of California (UC) system, will support open access (OA) publishing infrastructure through a major development partnership with the Public Knowledge Project. As a result of this agreement, CDL will assist with PKP's ongoing development and support of its open source software suite - Open Journal Systems, Open Conference Systems, and Open Harvester System, with Open Monograph Press due for release in the coming year.
CDL, in partnership with the UC campus libraries, supports and encourages OA publishing initiatives within the UC system through its eScholarship publishing and institutional repository platform. eScholarship provides a suite of OA, scholarly publishing services and research tools that enable departments, research units, publishing programmes and individual scholars associated with UC to have direct control over the creation and dissemination of the full range of their scholarship. Home to 45 peer-reviewed journals, eScholarship has recently transitioned to OJS as its journal management and submission system and has integrated OJS with its pre/post-print, books and working papers repository, which contains more than 45,000 UC-affiliated publications.
CDL seeks to provide digital library development and support for UC libraries and the communities they serve. The CDL Publishing Group delivers OA digital publication services to the UC academic community, supports widespread distribution of UC research materials, and fosters new models of scholarly publishing through the development and application of advanced technologies.
