[GOAL] Sage Open Access

[Heather Morrison]

Zero embargo sounds promising. Can someone from Sage explain what this means?

Possible interpretations:

- No embargo on self-archived articles
- No embargo on Sage's fully OA journals
- No embargo on Sage titles in transformative deal
- No embargo on Sage titles in subscription packages (Sage packages or 3rd party bundles)
- Sage plans to become an all-OA publisher

best,

Review of Sage Open access database in 2019 shows that the number of their open access journals is growing, they are still following article processing charge model and their payment model is still pricey.


Sage currently publishes 1,200 journals. Of these, 200 journals (about 17%) are fully open access. Compared to the last year?s data, there is a net increase of 41 open access journals (26% increase) published by Sage. Out of all open access journals, 185 journals (92 percent) have publication fees, 14 journals have no publication charges and 1 journal lacks the information whether it has processing fee or not.


Some journals from the previous years ceased publication and Sage has removed them from their database, but only a few of them are accessible through clockss.org archive.
