Sage is committed to disseminating high-quality research and engaged scholarship globally. Through partnerships with Research4Life and eIFL, we are pleased to offer our journals, ebooks and other digital resources, to institutions in low and middle income countries for free or at a greatly reduced price. This ensures that students, researchers and policymakers in the poorest nations have access to the latest peer-reviewed research in business, the humanities, social science, science, technology and medicine.

Over 1,300 journals and over 6,100 ebooks available to Developing World researchers
Over 90 countries, across 5 continents with access to scholarly content

Research 4 Life

Research4Life is a public–private partnership between WHO, FAO, UNEP, WIPO, ILO, Cornell and Yale Universities, STM, and nearly 200 publisher partners. Its goal is to narrow the global scientific knowledge gap by providing researchers in eligible institutions across low- and middle-income countries with free or low-cost access to peer-reviewed journals, books, and other academic resources. The initiative promotes equitable participation in the research communication ecosystem by supporting local capacity and skills development.
