SAGE Publishing's thoughts are with the higher education teaching and research communities we serve as together we navigate this difficult time. We are committed to doing what we can to support you.
We know that the work of the research community will be critical to addressing the challenge of COVID-19. To support this, we have taken a number of actions, for example:
If you’ve been invited by Sage to participate in usability testing, you might have some questions (such as ‘what’s that?’). We’ve created this page to answer some of the most common questions.
Usability testing is where we ask people to use a website or app and observe what they find easy, what they find more difficult, and how they feel about their experience.
Our expertise lies in seeking out and fully realizing potential revenue streams for our society partners. We aggressively develop commercial sales opportunities (primarily for our scientific and medical journals), including advertising, supplements, sponsorships, reprints, and translations. In addition, we focus on increasing revenues from subscriptions, consortia sales, and licensing. We can enhance your journal’s revenue flow while creating additional visibility for your journal content and your organization.
Today, SAGE Publishing has released its gender pay gap report for the UK business, in line with the new UK Government initiative. On 5 April 2017, the median gender pay gap between men and women at SAGE UK was 14.5%, lower than the UK national median of 18.4%.
Katharine Jackson, COO and CFO for SAGE UK commented:
Entering into a new publishing partnership is a major decision for any society or organization. We believe that the publishing services we offer present a compelling case for you to consider working with us on your journal.
We understand the signatories of Plan S are frustrated by the pace of transition to open access (OA), but we believe that the hybrid option is a crucial element in the transformation, as long as it is underpinned by meaningful local and global offsetting polices and liberal Author Accepted Manuscript (AAM) archiving policies. While we do not view hybrid OA as an end in itself, we believe it has an important role to play in the transformation of less well-funded disciplines.
At Sage, we understand that every researcher's journey is unique. That's why we offer a diverse range of publishing options to meet your needs, whether it's open access, subscription, or hybrid models.
Here are eight reasons to choose Sage for your academic work:
The three publishers involved reluctantly undertook this action to help clarify important questions of copyright in a digital world.
We welcome today’s decision as it will help to protect the intellectual property rights of authors and publishers who produce high-quality educational materials on which colleges and universities depend.
We have at no time sought damages or to extend copyright protections through this case, merely wanting to bring Georgia State’s practices in line with those at other universities.
Sage Journals content dates back to the mid-nineteenth century and may contain language and ideas that were once accepted by the scholarly community but are offensive or harmful. While recognizing the importance of preserving the historical record, we are addressing potentially harmful content in our archive on a case-by-case basis as we become aware of it.
