After submission of a manuscript in Peer Review, authors will receive a contributor form that must be completed and returned. This form serves to confirm the authorship of the article. Upon submission of this form, authors are welcome to request a change in the affiliation of any author. 

Can I change my affiliation? 

• After acceptance of the article, authors are kindly invited to communicate any changes to their affiliation to the journal's editor. 
• The journal's Editor contact information can be found in the Manuscript Submission Guidelines. To find this, visit Sage Journals platform, search for the journal title, and go to the submission guidelines tab. The journal's Editor email address can be found in the last section of these guidelines. 
• If an author has received an email from Sage Journals: Licensing & Payment and wishes to change their affiliation, they may contact the Open Access Customer Services team at openacess@sagepub.com to request these changes.
• If the APC invoice has been paid, Sage is unable to modify any details recorded on the paid invoice. Therefore, it is highly recommended that any necessary changes be made prior to submitting payment.
• If an author requests a change in their affiliation because they believe they may be eligible for an Open Access agreement, please contact the Open Access Customer Services team at openacess@sagepub.com.
