Sage has an agreement with WHEEL (Wales Higher Education Electronic Library) from 2020 to 2022. As of 1st January 2023, all institutions that were a part of our WHEEL agreement have now joined the UK Jisc agreement.
Institutions with an open access prepaid account (OAPA) have a fund with Sage which can be used to cover open access processing charges (APCs) in both gold open access and hybrid journals.
If you are an institution that would like to open an OAPA with Sage, please contact openaccess@sagepub.com.
Sage is fully compliant with the Wellcome Trust Open Access Policy. Any article published by Sage that has had an Article Processing Charge (APC) funded by the Wellcome Trust will be published under a Creative Commons, Attribution (CC BY) licence, Version 4 (effective 1st April 2017) and will be automatically deposited in PubMed Central (PMC) on behalf of the author without embargo.
