I am affiliated to a university/institution, do I need an open access policy waiver from my institution or university’s open access policy?

All Named Authors who are affiliated to a university/institution, and who are publishing an Article on a subscription basis (i.e. not on a gold open access basis), must each obtain an open access policy waiver for the Article from their institution or university’s open access policy if it is incompatible with IOP green open access policy.  Institutions/universities allow for such waivers in their policies.  Each Named Author affiliated to a university/institution is responsible for checking whether their university or institution’s open access policy is incompatible with IOP green open access policy.
