SAGE and Norwegian consortium sign transformative agreement -

Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has signed a new open access publishing agreement with Unit consortium (Norwegian consortium for higher education and research), which negotiates and manages 39 licence agreements on behalf of Norwegian research libraries from the public sector. The three-year read and publish agreement applies to all articles received and accepted from January 1, 2020.

Additionally, the deal will provide Norwegian researchers with unlimited open access publishing rights in more than 890 hybrid journals including titles published on behalf of, or in association with, over 400 societies; a 20% discount in over 150 pure Gold Open Access journals published by SAGE; read access rights to more than 890 peer-reviewed journals (950,000+ articles), content ownership of the subscribed content published by SAGE, as well as new content added to the package annually; publishing with a CC BY licence unless otherwise requested by the author; and notifications of open access publishing opportunities through their institutions.

As part of SAGE’s ongoing efforts to support and provide solutions for the open access landscape, this agreement allows Norwegian researchers to easily access more research and have their work available to read immediately on publication. To support the open access workflows SAGE has also announced the launch of the SAGE Open Access Portal, a new centralised platform for authors, consortia, libraries and funders to manage open access publishing at SAGE.
