Sage welcomes proposals for new Special Collections in our Gold Open Access journals.

Special Collections are intended to attract high quality articles on topics of current interest in the field of the journal. They should be organized by Guest Editors who are recognized experts in their field.

It is helpful for Guest Editors to have a list of potential contributors already in mind, and reach out to them as soon as possible.
