Academic journal
SAGE Open is an open access, peer-reviewed, academic mega journal.[1] It is the "first broad spectrum open access title aimed specifically at the behavioral and social sciences communities".[2]
It was established in May 2011[3] and is published by SAGE Publications. The charge to authors (APC) was initially free, then US$99, but from mid 2015 this went to $395.[4] By 2019 it was $480, followed by an increase to $800 later that year following the journal's acceptance into Web of Science.[5] As of 1 January 2023, the APC is $1,500.[5]
