U of G is participating in a new agreement between SAGE Publishing and the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN). The CRKN-SAGE Agreement combines elements of a traditional subscription with increased open access to research articles published by authors from CRKN member institutions. The result is a reduced cost to researchers and increased access to Canadian research.
The library is committed to increasing open access options for U of G researchers and this agreement represents a transitional step towards fully open access agreements.
What does this agreement mean for U of G Authors?
The SAGE-CKRN agreement allows U of G authors to publish their work in selected SAGE Journals without cost, or at a discount.
- U of G corresponding authors may publish their articles as open access in over 900 SAGE Choice Journals without paying article processing charges (APCs). Some exclusions apply.
- For SAGE Gold Open Access journals, U of G authors will receive a 40 per cent discount on APCs.
Articles published through this agreement will become open access. By publishing open access, you are:
- Making research more accessible for everyone.
- Complying with the Tri-Agency Open Access Policy.
- Helping transform the scholarly publishing system into one that is more economically sustainable.
- Ensuring the widest possible readership for publicly funded research.
This agreement is available to all U of G authors until the end of 2023.
