The USGS Publications Warehouse is the authoritative resource and public interface to USGS-authored peer-reviewed publications. Users can access metadata about and links to all USGS-authored publications and can obtain free online access to full-text publications published by the USGS.

The USGS Science Data Management Branch (in the Core Science Systems Mission Area) offers three publicly accessible tools that support the USGS’s open access effort: Metadata Wizard, ScienceBase, and USGS Science Data Catalog.

Did you know that USGS has a Public Access Plan concerning published works? This website provides an overview on how to release or publish USGS scientific data. This includes information on best practices (e.g., file formats for data) and checklists for before and after a data review.

Join the USGS Library in recognizing Open Access Week and how the USGS supports this movement.
