Sage is committed to upholding the integrity of the work we publish. The value of academic publishing relies on everyone involved behaving ethically. The following points are only intended to give a broad overview and are not exhaustive.
Authors can make their article open access either via the gold OA publishing or green OA archiving as described below.
A number of funders require research articles which have resulted from their funding to be made open access, including RCUK, NIH and Wellcome Trust. Sage helps authors comply with these mandates either via the gold open access publication route or green open access archiving.
Please check with your funders if there is a mandate to publish your research open access and the criteria for compliance. These resources may be helpful:
