UCPUBS

Publishing support for UC academic programs and faculty

UCPUBS, a joint program of the California Digital Library (CDL) and the University of California Press, provides a comprehensive range of publishing services, guidance, and information to all campuses within the University of California system. UCPUBS supports traditional and open access publishing in all disciplines.

Whether you're interested in print, ebook and/or open access publishing, UCPUBS can develop a customized publishing services plan for books, journals, conference proceedings, reports, and other professional content you manage. 

Services include editorial and design support, print-on-demand manufacturing, ebook creation, global fulfillment, journal management tools, open access repository platforms, usage statistics, and long-term preservation. These services (and more) are available à la carte or as an end-to-end scalable publishing infrastructure.

Choose the pathway that fits your publishing needs.

• For open access publishing and hosting of journals, conference proceedings, reports, and other academic content, visit CDL’s eScholarship Publishing program or contact the eScholarship publication team at help@escholarship.org. These services are appropriate for non-print, non-commercial works requiring a sustainable, standards-aligned open access platform to maximize visibility, discoverability, and long-term access to content.
• For projects intended for sale in print and ebook formats, visit Printing & Fulfillment or contact Elizabeth Scarpelli, UCPUBS Program Manager at UC Press. These fee-based services are appropriate for books and other works requiring commercial distribution and revenue generation.
• For projects that need editorial and design services prior to print production or open access hosting, please visit Editorial & Design or contact Elizabeth Scarpelli, UCPUBS Program Manager at UC Press.
