Academic publisher SAGE has announced a new partnership with a major online news website, The Conversation, to support access to high quality academic research within the mainstream media.
Originally launched in Australia in 2011 and now their largest independent news site, The Conversation UK, which launched 6 months ago, brings a unique combination of academic rigour and journalistic flair to the world of academic research. Articles published on the site are authored by academics with the help of experienced journalists to ensure research is accurately reflected within the media.
SAGE has championed the importance of social science since its founding in 1965 through the publication of high quality research and pedagogy, through stimulating debate events and partnerships, and through the creation of online communities (www.socialsciencespace.com, www.methodspace.com and Pacific Standard). This partnership takes this commitment further. As a partner, SAGE will be supporting the important role that The Conversation plays in helping academics to engage directly with the public and increasing the reach, the impact and the public understanding of high quality and influential academic research.
