What green open access options does IOP offer?

Our green open access policy grants authors the rights to: 

Immediately: 

• include the Accepted Manuscript on the Named Authors’ own personal website(s); 

• use the Accepted Manuscript in personal compilations of the Named Authors’ own works; 

• make copies of the Final Published Version for teaching purposes; 

• include the Final Published Version in a research thesis or dissertation, provided it is not then shared online; and 

• reuse their original figures, tables, and text extracts (up to 400 words) in future published works. 

After a 12-month embargo period: 

• share the Accepted Manuscript on any non-commercial institutional or subject repository. 

Our policy does not permit immediate public access / open access via institutional or subject repositories for articles published on a subscription basis. Authors wishing to share the accepted manuscript version of your article or the final version of record without any embargo will need to publish their work on a gold open access basis.
