History
[
edit
]
SAGE was founded in 1965 in
New York City
by Sara Miller (later Sara Miller McCune)
[6]
with
Macmillan Inc.
executive George D. McCune as a mentor;
[7]
the name of the company is an acronym formed from the first letters of their given names.
[7]
SAGE relocated to Southern California in 1966, after Miller and McCune married; McCune left Macmillan to formally join the company at that time.
[7]
Sara Miller McCune remained president for 18 years, shifting to board chairmen in 1984 (and still retains the title of executive chairman). The couple continued to develop the company together until George McCune's death in 1990.
[8]
In 2008, SAGE along with two other companies, sued
Georgia State University
for alleged copyright infringement due to faculty providing excerpts of materials to students.
[9]
The case
concluded in 2020 with the publishing companies losing.
[9]
In 2018, SAGE reported a mean 2017
gender pay gap
of 13.1% for its UK workforce, while the median was 10.3%.
[10]
In 2018, SAGE acquired Lean Library, a browser extension and discovery service,
[11]
which then faced opposition by part of the
academic community
for being owned by a for-profit, as opposed to
open data
,
open source
and
non-profit
products like
Unpaywall
which facilitates usage of
open access
works.
[12]
OASPA membership
[
edit
]
SAGE Publishing was a founding member of the
Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association
(OASPA) when it was established in 2008.
[13]
In November 2013, OASPA reviewed SAGE's membership after the
Journal of International Medical Research
accepted a false and intentionally flawed paper created and submitted by a reporter for the journal
Science
as part of a "
sting
" to test the effectiveness of the peer-review processes of
open access journals
(see
Who's Afraid of Peer Review?
)
.
[14]
SAGE's membership was reinstated at the end of the six month review period following changes to the journal's editorial processes.
[15]

One area of concern is the ownership of Lean by SAGE Publications, in contrast to the ownership say of Unpaywall as a project of the open-source ImpactStory, and what this means for users' privacy. The concerns are shared by other libraries implementing Lean.
