The agreement includes approximately 970 hybrid journals and 200 open access journals.
Good to know:
When an article has been accepted for publication, the author receives an email informing that the article can be published with open access through the agreement with Bibsam. The author is asked to go to SOAP (SAGE Open Access Portal).
In SOAP, open access publishing is the default option, but the author can opt out.
If the author chooses to publish with open access, CC BY will be the only licensing option. The author can contact the publisher directly if he prefers another type of license.
Authors who are members of the consortium will automatically receive a 20% discount on the APC fee when publishing in open access journals.
The articles are published with the license CC BY-NC if the author does not contact the publisher directly and ask for another license.
