SANLiC (South African National Library & Information Consortium) has negotiated an agreement with SAGE Publishing to support Open Access publishing.
As a member of SANLiC, Wits has signed an agreement with SAGE Publishing for the period 2022-2024.
The Read & Publish agreement allows authors affiliated with SANLiC institutions to:
publish open access in hybrid journals in the current Premier collection with no charge to the author
receive a 20% discount on article publishing charges for SAGE's 150+ pure Gold Open Access journals

Authors in subscription journals do not need to take any action to benefit from this offer. Once an accepted article has been received into SAGE’s Production department, SAGE will contact all eligible authors informing them of the Open Access agreement with SANLiC inviting them to the SAGE Open Access Portal to take up the offer.
