What do I receive when my article is published?

Complimentary copies

When Sage publishes an article, the most common policy among Sage journals is to provide authors with a complimentary digital copy of their final article, called an e-print. E-prints are sent out automatically to the corresponding authors of articles published ahead of print and in print issues. A link is provided allowing the author to download the article directly from the Sage website and forward the link onto their co-authors. Please refer to the manuscript submission guidelines for the policy of the journal in which you are interested in publishing your article: View all of our journals here. Authors can also share the PDF in certain other uses as explained in Sage's Archiving and Re-Use policy. If a journal's policy is an exception to the standard policy, the specific terms for that journal will be supplied in the author's Contributor Agreement.

If you are a corresponding author and you have not received your complimentary copy, please contact onlinesupport@sagepub.co.uk

If you are a co-author and would like to access your complimentary copy, please contact your corresponding author so they can share this with you. 

Ordering Print Copies

If an author would like to purchase a print copy of the issue in which their article appears, they will receive a 30% discount off the standard single-issue price. Single issue prices are listed in the "Subscribe" tab of each journal's website.
