Q: What is a preprint?
A preprint is a pre-peer reviewed version of a scholarly paper that is posted to an open access platform. A preprint is usually posted before, or at the same time, it is submitted to a journal to be peer reviewed.
Q: Why do authors post preprints?
SAGE is dedicated to developing textbooks that support students’ learning as well as lecturers’ teaching and are proud to publish a wide range of textbooks and handbooks by leading authors writing at every level; from core introductory texts for first year university students, through to more specialized texts for higher-level students and professionals.
Media, communication and cultural studies are disciplines that have been published at Sage for over fifty years now. We are proud to have built such a well-respected list of leading journals, textbooks for all courses and levels, and critically acclaimed titles from top thinkers in the field. We believe in beautiful books, critical thinking and innovative resources that support research and teaching, and help shape the future of media studies.
Working closely with SAGE’s subject specialist teams in our UK and US offices, our Asia-Pacific editorial team produces high-quality books tailored for the needs of the academic communities across the region. We work with authors from a range of academic disciplines across the whole of Asia-Pacific, helping them to bring their work to a global audience.

London, UK. SAGE Publishing and the Campaign for Social Science have once again partnered to launch a new research project looking at pathways into different social science disciplines at university and employment prospects for social science graduates.
We understand the signatories of Plan S are frustrated by the pace of transition to open access (OA), but we believe that the hybrid option is a crucial element in the transformation, as long as it is underpinned by meaningful local and global offsetting polices and liberal Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) archiving policies. While we do not view hybrid OA as an end in itself, we believe it has an important role to play in the transformation of less well-funded disciplines.
We are looking for a proposal which covers the following key areas:
SAGE is dedicated to developing textbooks that support students’ learning as well as lecturers’ teaching and are proud to publish key textbooks by leading figures in the field covering core topics such as health promotion, public health and research methods.
We also publish over 100 highly-read and cited journals (to support academics, students and researchers) in the health and nursing discipline, with titles such as Health Promotion Practice, Perspectives in Public Health, Global Health Promotion and Health Education Behaviour.
This month’s Big Data Newsletter looks back at the first ever Social Science Foo Camp, a ‘non-conference conference’, co-hosted by SAGE, which brought together 250 of the world’s leading social scientists, technologists, business people and policy-makers to discuss the future of social science, the impact of technology and the possibilities for cross-discipline collaboration.
At the camp SAGE launched SAGE Ocean, a new initiative to support social scientists work with big data and new technology. Find out more in the latest edition.
