RSVP for the Zoom

Are you a UC Berkeley faculty or researcher publishing results arising through federal grant funding? Updated agency public access policies require grant-funded authors to make a version of their research articles and data freely accessible at the same time as publication in a scholarly journal.

Join UC Berkeley Library staff on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 from 1:00-2:00 pm on Zoom for an overview of federal agency public access policies affecting research publication and data, and what you need to do as an author.

We’ll cover essential requirements for a variety of federal agency funders such as the Department of Energy, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and more. We’ll unpack publication and data deposit procedures, review publisher challenges to compliance, and highlight related UC open access publishing support.

Participants will leave with clear takeaways on what researchers need to do to meet public access requirements and where to find ongoing support.

The workshop presentation will be recorded and distributed to registrants afterward.

If you require an accommodation to fully participate in this event, please contact schol-comm@berkeley.edu with as much advance notice as possible and at least 7 days before the event.
