Q. How do I request a waiver from the Harvard Open Access Policy for my publication?

The Harvard Open Access Policy requires that Harvard faculty deposit their scholarly articles in the Harvard digital repository, DASH. In some cases, publishers will ask for a waiver to the policy for a specific publication. 

To request a waiver, fill out this form: Harvard Open Access Policy Waiver Request Form

Please note: waivers only apply to the specific publication that you have requested the waiver for. By default, all Harvard faculty authored papers are subject to the open access policy. Additional information about requesting a waiver is posted on the Harvard Library Open Scholarship and Research Data Services website.
