Agreement
Sage has an agreement with the University of Pennsylvania to assist with open access article processing charges (APCs) for eligible authors.
To qualify for the agreement, the corresponding author must be affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania and have an article accepted for publication in an eligible journal between January 01, 2023, and December 31, 2025.
CHOP researchers cross-affiliated with Penn are eligible but must select the University of Pennsylvania (and not Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania or CHOP) as their primary affiliation when submitting an article.

Publish in a gold open access journal

Charges other than the author APC may still apply, please refer to individual journal submission guidelines.

If your primary institution has an Open Access agreement with Sage and you are listed as the Corresponding Author, your article will automatically qualify for the applicable discount or waiver upon acceptance for publication in an eligible journal.
Step 1: Submission. Submit your paper via the submission system for your chosen journal (please refer to the list of Eligible Journals).
Step 2: Peer Review. Your paper will benefit from the high standards of peer review that we are committed to at Sage. Find out more about the peer review process.
Step 3: Production. When your article has been accepted and enters the production process, authors will receive communication via Sage Journals: Licensing & Payment with an invitation to accept your APC offer and select your Creative Commons license.
