What is the cost of publication and how do I make my article Open Access?

There may be an Article Processing Charge (APC) depending on the type of article you are submitting and the individual journal you are publishing in.

There is no cost to publish an article as standard in the majority of our subscription model journals.

If you wish to publish your article in a Gold Open Access Journal or as Open Access in a subscription journal under our Sage Choice model, there is a standard APC.

Please visit our open access pages for more information on these policies, or view a journal’s manuscript submission guidelines for information for an individual journal, including any additional charges for colour figures.
