A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted, any incentives or supports provided, and the repository(ies) used:
PSU’s Institutional Repository, PDXScholar, contains over 22,000 items created by PSU faculty, students, and staff, including but not limited to journal articles, technical reports, conference papers, research data, theses and dissertations, and books.
The purpose of PDXScholar is to provide open access to PSU scholarship to researchers throughout the world via the Internet. By default, materials deposited into the repository are open access, which means anyone on the web can access them. In addition, repository materials are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved by the copyright holder. As an alternative to reserving all rights, authors are encouraged to consider licensing their works under a Creative Commons License, under which they can preserve those rights that are most important to them (e.g., proper attribution,) and at the same time explicitly grant to readers certain other rights chosen by the author to be used at the reader's discretion (e.g., copy, distribute, display, or perform the work.) For additional information, see PDXScholar copyright/authors rights.

Open Access Resolutions:
The Portland State University Library supports open access to our scholarship and knowledge.
We, the faculty of Portland State University Library, resolve the following:
1. To disseminate our scholarship as broadly as possible. We endeavor to make our scholarly work openly accessible conforming with generally accepted Open Access principles. Whenever possible, we make our scholarship available in digital format, online, and free of charge.
2. To publish our scholarly works with a Creative Commons license whenever possible.
3. To make publicly available the full text of our scholarly works by depositing those works in PDXScholar as soon as is possible, recognizing that some publishers may impose an embargo period.
4. To seek publishers whose policies allow us to make our scholarly works freely available online. When a publisher’s policies do not allow us to make our works freely available online, we resolve to engage in good faith negotiations with the publisher to allow deposit of pre- or post-print versions of our scholarly work in the digital repository.
5. To promote Open Access on campus and assist scholars in making their research openly available.
The resolution was adopted by the Portland State University Library faculty February 14, 2012 and amended in March 2017. This policy will be reviewed every five years.
