An increasing number of UK institutions have implemented an institutional rights retention policy, specifying rights for publications for all articles (and sometimes books) with a specific publisher. There is a useful map of these institutions <a href="https://sje30.github.io/rrs/rrs.html">here</a>. Once a policy is in place, the majority of articles will probably not have a rights statement within each article.
