SAGE is instituting a system of so-called open publishing that will exclude anyone without university or other funding - and why should academic authors pay to be published?? They should be PAID for publishing.
"Submit your manuscript to SAGE Open—an open-access publication
Publish in SAGE Open, SAGE's groundbreaking, open-access publication of peer-reviewed, original research and review articles, spanning the full spectrum of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. More than 1,000 manuscripts have been submitted in the last year.
Submit your manuscript through SAGE track, SAGE's web-based peer review and submission system, powered by ScholarOne Manuscripts™. Submitting your manuscript is free. Only if your manuscript is accepted will you pay the author acceptance fee of $395 (discounted from the regular price of $695)."
