Open Access (OA) is a publishing model that makes research free to read upon publication. The publication process is supported by an article processing charge (APC). The author, institution or funding body usually pays for this.

Sage has three routes for OA publication: gold open access journals, hybrid open access (Sage Choice), and green open access archiving. 

Please visit Sage's Open Access page to learn more about open access publishing opportunities, see if Sage has an OA agreement with your institution and more.
