Academic publisher SAGE has announced that it has renewed its agreement with the Brazilian consortium, Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), to offer member institutions online access to a specially selected package of SAGE journals.
Under the new agreement, researchers at all 124 participating CAPES institutions throughout Brazil will continue to access the full text of SAGE's Social Science and Science, Technical, and Medical journals. The journals are hosted on the SAGE Journals Online platform, which contains such features as advanced, fielded Boolean searching, thesaurus search and browse, search history, marked citations, and COUNTER-compliant usage statistics, in addition to social bookmarking and RSS feeds.
CAPES assists the Brazilian Ministry of Education in the formulation of national policies related to post-graduate study. Through CAPES, which was founded in 1951, the Brazilian government provides access to quality information for professionals, professors and students at member universities and research institutes.
