SAGE Publishing and the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL), the negotiating body representing universities in Australia and New Zealand, have announced a new Open Access Agreement that will expand publishing opportunities for ANZ researchers. The three-year agreement, which begins on January 1, 2023, and will last through to December 31, 2025, provides researchers with: unlimited open access publishing rights in SAGE’s 900+ hybrid journals; and a discount on article publishing charges for SAGE’s 150+ pure Gold Open Access journals.
Researchers at member institutions will have access to SAGE’s vast collection of journals in the social and behavioral sciences, and growing quality STM research portfolio. With the help of SAGE’s Open Access Portal, a platform dedicated to supporting OA workflows, authors will benefit from a seamless experience that guides them through licenses and streamlines the OA publication process.
An early driver of OA, SAGE is committed to increasing transparency and accessibility of scientific research so that it has the best chance of creating real-world impact. As an independent publisher, SAGE is free to think long-term in providing sustainable paths to open access. To learn more about SAGE’s OA agreements, visit the SAGE Publishing website.
