Most institutions have diverse policy approaches such as 38.9 % of institutions have not specified the policy color, the color codes help clarify archiving rules for scholarly output. Green means both early (pre-print) and final (post-print) versions can be archived, blue allows only the final version, yellow permits only the early draft, and white means archiving is not allowed, black is not a standard color used to indicate a archiving policy. More than half institutions are registered as research organizations. This study reveals institutional repository is the most common center for depositing research outputs. The manuscript is the most frequently mandated content type appearing in about 38.9 % of the policies. Most institutions do not impose embargoes and also not impose strict licensing conditions. About 77.8 % organizations do not have clear policies or support mechanisms for Gold Open Access and not provide or prioritize funding for APCs that potentially limiting the adoption of Gold OA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>To the best of the authors\u2019
