To qualify for the automatic waiver please ensure you have ticked all of the boxes below during submission. Scroll down for additional information on each point. 

1. Submit using your institutional e-mail account. 

If you are submitting to IWA Publishing for the first time, please register using your institutional affiliation. If you have already registered, please make sure you update your author information as in Point 2.

2. Make sure your author information is up-to-date in Editorial Manager.

This is especially important if you are already registered with IWA Publishing. In the 'Author Main Menu', click on 'Update my Information' in the menu on the top of the screen.
