SAGE Open


SAGE Open is an open access, peer-reviewed, academic mega journal. It is the "first broad spectrum open access title aimed specifically at the behavioral and social sciences communities".
It was established in May 2011 and is published by Sage Publications. The charge to authors was initially free, then US$99, but from mid 2015 this went to $395. By 2019 it was $480 but without warning, a fee of US$800 was announced in that year just after the journal was accepted to the Web of Science.
