20% Reviewer Discount- If you are an author who has previously acted as a reviewer for a journal and are now submitting your own article to the same journal within a period of 6 months, we are pleased to inform you that you are eligible for a 20% discount as a token of our appreciation for your valuable contribution as a reviewer. We strongly advise authors to include their reviewer information in order to receive the reviewer discount when submitting their articles for peer review.
50% Editorial Board Member Discount- If you are an author who is also a member of the editorial board of a journal, we are pleased to inform you that you are eligible for a 50% discount if you submit your article to the same journal of which you are a member. We strongly advise authors to include their Editorial Board Member information in order to receive the Editorial Board Member (EBM) discount when submitting their articles for peer review.
75% Student Discount- Some journals also offer a 75% discount to students. We recommend reviewing the submission guidelines of the journal to confirm if this discount applies to your article.

Low-income countries

Open Access agreements with Consortia/Libraries/Institutions
Sage has established Open Access agreements with various consortia, libraries and institutions. Under these agreements, eligible authors and articles are offered discounted or waived APCs. Depending on the terms of the agreement, authors are offered waivers/discounts in Gold and/or Hybrid/Sage Choice journals. Please note, each Open Access agreement has specific terms and articles/authors must meet this criteria to be eligible for a discount/waiver. To determine your eligibility, kindly refer to our Open Access Agreements at Sage page on our website.
