Open Access (OA) is a publishing model that makes research free to read upon publication. The publication process is supported by an Article Processing Charge (APC). The author, institution or funding body usually pays for this.

For over a decade Sage has played an active role in Open Access, seeking to build bridges to knowledge in the research community. From our extensive author service to our flexible OA publishing routes, Sage is here to empower you as researchers, librarians and readers. In an ever-changing landscape, we are here to respond to library needs with our innovative Open Access Agreements. In line with structural equity, we strive to offer sustainable open research, which is accessible to all

From endocrinology to ethnography, we have a diverse suite of over 200 Gold Open Access journals.
