Special Collection Guidelines
- Special Collections are collections of high-quality articles on topics of current interest, organized by Guest Editors who are recognized experts in their field
- All Special Collection articles, including commissioned papers, will undergo full, independent peer review, in line with Sage’s ethical and peer review and publishing policies.
- There is no guarantee of acceptance, even for invited papers. The journal’s Editor and/or Publisher have final authority on editorial content. Papers that do not fit the scope of the journal or standards for peer review may be desk-rejected.
- Open access content is freely available to everyone, but is not without costs. As such, most journals charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) and all accepted manuscripts will be charged this fee. Each journal’s APC is listed on its website View our full list of journals.
- Discounts are sometimes available based on need – please view our discount policy for more information.
