SAGE has launched a new portal that enables authors, consortia, libraries, and funders to manage the open access publishing workflow. Named the SAGE Open Access Portal, the platform currently supports SAGE Choice, the publisher’s hybrid open access publishing option, for 900+ journals. Later in 2020, it will be extended to support SAGE’s 180+ pure Gold OA journals.
To meet the needs of a variety of stakeholders, the portal:
- enables automated compliance with all funder or national OA mandates
- enables stakeholders to view and track articles through approval, license selection, and payment transaction
- includes a shared author and bill payer interface to streamline article processing charge (APC) payment processes
- provides detailed reporting through dashboard views and downloadable reports
- automatically notifies authors of articles eligible for OA publishing agreements and any waivers or discounts for which they are eligible
