Articles span the full spectrum of the social and behavioral sciences and the humanities. SAGE Open articles receive high quality peer review, copy editing, typesetting, and electronic delivery. This special discounted price does not affect the publishing services or quality.<br /><br />Submitting your manuscript is free. Only if your manuscript is accepted will you pay the $99 APC. For more information, view the SAGE Open manuscript submission guidelines."<br /><br />A quick look at the articles they present as most cited displays spelling mistakes and strange groupings of articles (adult education and math assessments under the heading Criminology?). It is almost as if they decided to do this poorly in order to discourage using the open access. What are your thoughts on this sagely open access effort? רותי שילר Ruth Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290294749637419148noreply@blogger.com
