How does it work?

  • Sage will recognize the corresponding author as a researcher of Radboud University / Radboudumc, based on e-mail affiliation and selected institution. Authors should therefore use their institutional email address.
  • Upon acceptance of the article for publication in a SAGE Choice journal, the corresponding author receives an email from SAGE with the request to complete a form and return it immediately. The publisher will send you a personal message with a request to fill out a form and send it by return mail. The article is made open access without cost if SAGE receives the form in a timely manner. The form asks for a code, but you do not have to fill it out. Articles cannot be made open access after publication.
  • The 20% discount for publication in SAGE's Pure Gold Access Journal (list of OA journals) will automatically be applied to the author processing charge (APC) when the corresponding autor is recognized as affiliated to Radboud University / Radboudumc.
