TABLE OF CONTENTS
Aside from our Open Access agreements, Sage does not offer waivers or discounts for open access publications in our Hybrid/Sage Choice journals. For more information on our Sage Choice program, see our Sage Choice FAQs.
If you are an author who has previously acted as a reviewer for a journal and are now submitting your own article to the same journal within a period of 6 months, we are pleased to inform you that you are eligible for a 20% discount on the APC as a token of our appreciation for your valuable contribution as a reviewer. We strongly advise authors to include their reviewer information in order to receive the reviewer discount when submitting their articles for peer review.
50% Editorial Board Member Discount
If you are an author who is also a member of the editorial board of a journal, we are pleased to inform you that you are eligible for a 50% discount on the APC if you submit your article to the same journal of which you are a member. We strongly advise authors to include their Editorial Board Member information in order to receive the Editorial Board Member (EBM) discount when submitting their articles for peer review.
75% Student Discount
If you are a student looking to publish an article in a Sage journal, some journals offer a 75% discount on the APC. We recommend reviewing the submission guidelines of the journal to confirm if this discount applies to your article. To access a journal's submission guidelines, please visit the Sage Journals platform, search for the journal, and click on the submission guidelines tab.

Sage has established Open Access agreements with various consortia, libraries and institutions. Under these agreements, eligible authors and articles are offered discounted or waived APCs. Depending on the terms of the agreement, authors are offered waivers/discounts in Gold and/or Hybrid/Sage Choice journals. Please note, each Open Access agreement has specific terms and articles/authors must meet this criteria to be eligible for a discount/waiver. To determine your eligibility, kindly refer to our Open Access Agreements at Sage page on our website.
Society-based discounts
Some journals offer discounted rates for members of associated societies. Therefore, it is important to add this information when submitting your article in our Peer Review systems when asked. If this information has been missed, please do let Sage know as soon as possible so we can ensure any discounts are considered.
