Open Access Publishing SAGE

A new deal with the publisher SAGE adds to the growing number of open access publishing routes available to University of Wolverhampton authors in 2024, as well as increasing the number of journal titles available to read through the University Library collections.

University of Wolverhampton authors can publish articles on open access basis in SAGE hybrid journals. SAGE will determine eligibility based on the affiliation chosen by the corresponding author and offer a CC BY or CC BY-NC licence, and authors retain their copyright in their work. Articles eligible for the deal must be accepted between 1 Jan 2023 and 31 December 2024.

Authors will be offered the opportunity to publish via the deal during the publication process. Some article types are excluded from the deal, such as book reviews and commercially sponsored articles. Titles that are part of the deal are in the 2024 SAGE Premier collection, as well as the IMechE and RSM collections. If a title joins the collection during 2024, it may not automatically join the deal for publishing.

The publisher provides information on the deal and the titles in the deal on their webpages.

A complete list of current open access publishing deals are available on the Library’s gold open access webpage.
