Some subscription journals charge authors page or publication charges to publish their article. There has been ambiguity when an article, from one of these journals, has any of these associated costs as well as open access (OA) as to what should be charged. Therefore, Sage is clarifying its policy on the subject (July 2022).

There are two ways an article in a subscription journal can publish OA, one is through requesting to publish your article OA, this is called Sage Choice, or the article may have been identified as part of one of our Open Access Sales Deals (OASD).

Health & Nursing with Sage

First things first: improving your health and wellbeing is a lifelong, but very rewarding, journey and it’s never too late to start looking after yourself. 

Dedication, continued development, and hard work: choosing a career as a nurse is about more than just compassion. However, nurses can't thrive in a fast-paced environment without the ability to manage their wellbeing or the professional skills needed to support effective, patient-centred care.
