Open Access
Journal site launched
Academic publisher
SAGE and the Hindawi Publishing Corporation entered into an agreement
to jointly launch and publish a suite of fully Open Access (OA)
journals. SAGE will have sole responsibility for the editorial
development, marketing, and promotion of the new journals while
Hindawi will provide the technology and expertise needed to run
the publication process from the point of submission, through
the peer-review process, to the point of final publication. Under
the model, all SAGE-Hindawi journal articles will be made freely
available online via the Hindawi platform, funded by author charges.
SAGE is the world's fifth largest journal publisher, with over
485 journals in the humanities, social sciences, science, technology,
and medicine. Hindawi currently publishes more than 100 Open Access
journals covering a wide range of subjects in science, technology,
and medicine. The SAGE-Hindawi platform will be launched at Information
Online 2007, December 4-6 in London.
