May 29, 2019 – We held a “Complying with NIH Public Access Policy” workshop at the Center for Health Sciences with Bethany Myers, a librarian from the Biomedical Library and an expert in working with this policy. The workshop went over the policy itself, the different methods of ensuring that a publication was in compliance, and went into detail about the best practices when submitting for an efficient and quick process. In addition, Bethany also went over the UC Open Access policy which applies to publications created at any of the UC campuses.

You can find her powerpoint available for download below.
