Publishing Program for Societies and Associations

Our experience with transferring the publication of Environment and Urbanization from IIED to SAGE has been very positive. The journal's circulation has increased, as has usage of the web version. Our impact factor has also increased significantly. But there is another important factor – SAGE’s willingness to meet our terms in regard to most of the papers online being available to allcomers, without charge, and to agree to a differential pricing structure which makes the journal relatively cheap for institutional subscribers in low- and middle income nations.
David Satterthwaite, Editor of Environment and Urbanization (new to SAGE in 2006)

Our association has been impressed by the professionalism and marketing skills of SAGE. In addition, (we) have enjoyed excellent working relations with SAGE.”

SAGE Publications understands what it means to partner successfully with an Association, and it shows at every level.  While other publishers might be content to simply print and distribute a journal, SAGE has gone far beyond by making the kind of consistent and significant contributions to our Association that continue to allow us to offer more to our members and to achieve our goals. 
John L Gannon, International Association for Correctional and Forensic Psychology

Since taking on the journal in 2002, SAGE has provided exceptional support for our editorial team in everything from the day-to-day running of the journal to very successful promotional events at international conferences.  SAGE has been instrumental in raising the profile of the journal, while also giving us the freedom to realize our own vision for the publication.

I do recommend SAGE to any other journals considering SAGE as their publisher. SAGE does a fine job – thoroughly professional – of producing the issues of JCR, and I'm glad they are our publisher. Things happen promptly and correctly.
Bruce Russett, Dean Acheson Professor of Political Science, Yale University and Editor of Journal of Conflict Resolution

As the Editor of two journals recently acquired from other publishers by SAGE, I have been very impressed by the professionalism, openness and friendliness of the SAGE publishing team. Their willingness to explore new ways of getting both journals into the hand of more readers around the world, particularly in developing countries, is most encouraging, and it is a pleasure to work with such a dedicated group of publishing professionals.
Stephen Parker, Editor IFLA Journal and Information Development

I have worked with Sage for several years now, as treasurer and membership secretary of the International Society for the Study of Behavioral Development, and recently as incoming editor of the International Journal of Behavioral Development. My experiences are positive without exception. People at SAGE are friendly and responsive. Not only do they react very quickly to any questions, they are also very pro-active in thinking about benefits for the Society or the Journal. Moreover, they do this on an open basis, being friendly convincing themselves, but also open to arguments from my side. A recent visit to their headquarters in London confirmed the positive impression I had based on my e-mail contacts.
