Journal production varies due to specific journal needs, but as a general overview, upon acceptance of your manuscript, you will first need to sign and submit a Contributor Agreement. Upon completion, a production editor will contact you to guide you through proofing and publication. For more information, please see our page On Acceptance and Publication on the Sage Journal Author Gateway.
If you are a Sage Journal editor, please see our Journals Production page on the Sage Journal Editor Gateway, or contact your production editor.
