No deal with SAGE Publishing – What next?
As often happens, a major academic publisher has set unreasonable demands in its contract negotiations with the Consortium of Swiss Academic Libraries, and Swiss universities will start 2026 without a contract to access new publications in SAGE journals, nor possibilities to publish articles open access in these. What does this mean, how does this affect researchers, and how can you help in our struggle against attempts at implementing leonine contracts?
