Here at Sage, we are seeking to make it as simple and straightforward as possible for you to find a route to publishing Open Access with our Open Access options. Browse the options below to find out more.
We publish a rapidly growing list of Gold Open Access journals. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed retaining the quality hallmarks of the academic publishing process that authors would experience in publishing in any traditional Sage journal. Most Sage pure gold open access journals are supported by the payment of an article processing charge (APC) by the author, institution or research funder of the accepted manuscript. For more detail visit the specific journal websites.
Corresponding Authors who reside in the countries described by the Research4Life program (both Group A and Group B) publishing in one of Sage’s gold open access journals will automatically receive a full APC waiver without needing to take any action. Additional waiver requests will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
The Sage Choice program offers authors the option to make their articles freely available upon publication in most subscription-based Sage Journals.
At Sage we are committed to facilitating openness, transparency and reproducibility of research. We support and encourage research data to be shared, discoverable, citable, and recognized as an intellectual product of value.
