Update your publication and/or supporting materials in eScholarship

Do you also need to update the title, abstract, or other metadata in eScholarship? See: Fix incorrect titles, author order, and other metadata

Your scholarly work in eScholarship may need to be updated due to being an old version or an incorrect PDF:

Use the redeposit function to update or replace the publication:

  1. Log into the UC Publication Management System and navigate to the publication. It will likely be under Menu > My Profile > My Work > Publications.


    If you cannot find it, use the "Title" filter in the right sidebar to find the publication.


    Or use Reporting > Search > System Search to find the publication by title.

  2. Select the Deposit icon to navigate to the deposit management page.


  3. Option 1: Redeposit with a single file: Follow the on-screen prompts to upload a new version of the file. Be sure to select the final Redeposit button to send the revised file to eScholarship.


  4. Option 2: Redeposit with multiple files (supplemental files supporting information): When you redeposit an article, all files previously deposited are removed from eScholarship. If you included supplemental files in addition to your article document, you must deposit them at the same time.
    Follow the on-screen prompts to upload a new version of the file. Choose "+ Upload another file" to attach additional files to your deposit; these will be displayed in the "Supplemental Material" tab in eScholarship. (See an example.) You must select File version: Supporting information for each non-manuscript item. Once you have uploaded all items, click the final Redeposit button to send the revised file to eScholarship.

  5. The system will display a "thank you" notice to confirm the redeposit is complete.
    Note: Depending on current eScholarship traffic, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a full day for the deposit to refresh in the system. If it has been more than 24 hours and your PDF has not updated, contact your campus open access support team. Please explain the difference between the old deposit and the new deposit to aid troubleshooting.



  6. If you receive a deposit error, contact your campus open access support team for assistance.
