Hi Valerie, Sorry for any confusion caused. Your clarification is correct, this is not a new policy. SAGE has always had a liberal green archiving policy that allows the author to deposit their AAM in their IR with zero embargo.
I wasn't there (but did work with Tom on his slides as he was standing in for me!). The point he was making was that we are more than compliant with the HEFCE 2021 REF requirement that allows some embargo. Apologies if it came across that we were unveiling something new. For the sake of absolute clarity, while this policy applies specifically to our traditional subscription journals it's not restricted to them. Authors paying for Gold OA can obviously do the same with their AAM. I'm not sure why they'd want to though given they can deposit the VoR after it's been produced less than a month later. The HEFCE policy allows for that I believe. Best wishes, Dave David Ross VP, Open Research SAGE Publishing -----Original Message----- From: goal-boun...@eprints.org <goal-boun...@eprints.org> On Behalf Of Valerie McCutcheon Sent: 04 April 2019 15:43 To: goal@eprints.org Subject: Re: [GOAL] Sage Open Access Seems a bit of a red herring sorry folks - came back to say it is not anything new and not all journals just the traditional subscription journals - http://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/journal-author-archiving-policies-and-re-use That was a bit unclear and attendees at the event thought they were announcing something new and liberal. Not sure why they seemed so excited about it. -----Original Message----- From: Valerie McCutcheon Sent: 04 April 2019 12:07 To: goal@eprints.org Subject: Sage Open Access I have just been on a panel with Tom Merriweather of Sage this AM.

Sage OA 2019: growing number of OA journals, still expensive, APC based, complex pricing trends (Heather Morrison) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2019 17:15:33 +0000 From: Heather Morrison <heather.morri...@uottawa.ca> Subject: [GOAL] Sage OA 2019: growing number of OA journals, still expensive, APC based, complex pricing trends To: "Global Open Access List (Successor of AmSci)" <goal@eprints.org> Message-ID: <yt1pr01mb3402b8f30944808b2c23334deb...@yt1pr01mb3402.canprd01.prod.outlook.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Review of Sage Open access database in 2019 shows that the number of their open access journals is growing, they are still following article processing charge model and their payment model is still pricey. Sage currently publishes 1,200 journals. Of these, 200 journals (about 17%) are fully open access. Compared to the last year?s data, there is a net increase of 41 open access journals (26% increase) published by Sage. Out of all open access journals, 185 journals (92 percent) have publication fees, 14 journals have no publication charges and 1 journal lacks the information whether it has processing fee or not. Some journals from the previous years ceased publication and Sage has removed them from their database, but only a few of them are accessible through clockss.org archive. by Hamid Pashaei and Heather Morrison Full post: https://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/2019/03/30/sage-in-2019-growing-in-oa-journals-still-expensive-complex-pricing-trends/ Heather Morrison Associate Professor, School of Information Studies, University of Ottawa Professeur Agr?g?, ?cole des Sciences de l'Information, Universit? d'Ottawa Principal Investigator, Sustaining the Knowledge Commons, a SSHRC Insight Project sustainingknowledgecommons.org heather.morri...@uottawa.ca https://uniweb.uottawa.ca/?lang=en#/members/706 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
