Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has signed a new open access publishing agreement with the FinELib Consortium, serving member institutions including Finnish universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutes and public libraries. The three-year read and publish agreement applies to all articles received and accepted from January 1, 2020 and will provide Finnish researchers with unlimited open access publishing rights in more than 900 hybrid journals including titles published on behalf of, or in association with, over 400 societies; a 20% discount in 150+ pure Gold Open Access journals published by SAGE; read access rights to more than 900 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; and publishing with a CC BY licence unless otherwise requested by the author.
As part of SAGE’s ongoing efforts to support and provide solutions for the open access landscape, this agreement allows Finnish 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.
