Our Policy
Our aim is to act in a fair and responsible way to avoid our customers paying twice for OA content via article charges and subscription costs: so called "double dipping."
We will continually review and refine our pricing to ensure Sage continues to work with the best industry practices and that we maintain transparency around our calculations as well as our publishing service covered by APC’s.
How do we calculate the discounts?
Newly Discounted Titles for 2025
The list below includes titles which have been newly discounted for 2025 as more than 5% of their articles are published as Sage Choice (Hybrid OA)
We only discount further if the proportion of Gold OA content increases. If it doesn’t, the discounted price remains the same. If the proportion decreases from the previous year we do not reverse the discount. This becomes the base price. To provide transparency we have listed all previous discounts (by the most recent year first) for all titles.
