Examples of helpful online guidance applicable to prospective authors:
Authors have the option to publish their books open access, making them freely available online to all readers. Book publishers use a variety of business models for open access publishing. Though some, particularly commercial publishers, use the book processing charge (BPC) model charged to the author (example), models that subsidize publication costs through institutional support programs are increasingly popular.
UCSF does not have a funding program to help authors pay BPCs, though the UC Libraries contribute to several non-profit book publishers that either do not charge author fees or discount the BPC.
