The University of California eScholarship Repository has launched a series of open-access, peer-reviewed repository journals. A repository journal uses the institutional repository as the journal infrastructure. Submissions are deposited in the journal as preprints, and accepted articles are redeposited as postprints, labelled to show that they have been peer-reviewed. (PS: At other institutions, these are called overlay journals.) For this series of journals, the editorial boards must be units within the University of California system, although they may accept papers from scholars anywhere. The first journal in the series is San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science. For more detail on the series, see the page of policies or the FAQ.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
