The rule is simple:
Did the author write it (1) for fee/royalty income or (2) for research
impact?
If (1), then Green OA self-archiving cannot be madated by the author's
institution or funder. If (2) then it can, and should.
For Annual Reviews, the answer is (2), and Annual reviews are
accordingly Green, endorsing author self-archiving (of the author's
final peer-reviewed draft, not the publisher's PDF) immediately upon
acceptance for publication:
