Through a new transformative agreement, SAGE Publishing and the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries expand publishing opportunities for Swiss researchers. The deal, which began on January 1, 2021 and will last through 2022, provides researchers with unlimited open access publishing rights in SAGE’s over 900 hybrid journals and a discount on article publishing charges for SAGE’s over 150 pure Gold Open Access journals.
Researchers at member institutions participating in the agreement have access to SAGE’s vast collection of journals in the social and behavioral sciences and fast-growing list of science, technology, and medicine journals. With the help of SAGE’s Open Access Portal, such researchers will be able to confidently submit their work in compliance with both current and future open access (OA) requirements, be automatically contacted by SAGE to make them aware of their publishing options, and manage the selection of OA licenses.
An early driver of OA, SAGE serves as a founding member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association, as well as being one of two publishing partners in the European Commission-funded FP7 Framework project, the Study of Open Access Publishing. Additionally, in 2011 SAGE launched SAGE Open, the first broad-spectrum open access journal aimed specifically at the social and behavioral sciences.
