How much are Pay to Publish Charges?

Modified on Wed, 7 Aug at 12:07 PM

Pay to Publish charges vary depending on the journal. Each journal has different requirements and thus different costs. 

To identify if publishing an article in a Sage journal will incur pay to publish charges, please refer to the individual journal's submissions guidelines. The submission guidelines of the journal will also include the unique requirements regarding submissions, as well as the cost to publish an article in the journal.


To find a journal's Manuscript Submission Guidelines, please search for the journal on our Sage Journals platform. To find the Manuscript Submission Guidelines, search for the journal title on our Sage Journals platform, go to the submission guidelines tab and you will find details for the page, or publication charge.


For more information on which Sage Journals have Pay to Publish charges, please view Which Sage Journals have Pay to Publish Charges?


Please note, Pay to Publish Charges are not the same as Article Processing Charges (APCs). APCs are charged to publish an article Open Access. For more information, please see How much does it cost to publish my article open access? and Why does my article have both Open Access and Pay to Publish charges?
