4. Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement

Before publication SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement. For more information, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.


Organization Studies and SAGE take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of articles published in the journal.

Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked using duplication-checking software.

Where an article is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article (removing it from the journal); taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; banning the author from publication in the journal or all SAGE journals, or appropriate legal action.

 

SAGE choice and open access

If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to non subscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in "SAGE Choice", subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged.

On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice.

To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice.

 

For more information on open access options and compliance at SAGE, including self author archiving deposits (green open access), please visit SAGE Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.


5. Declaration of Conflicting Interests

Within your journal Contributor's Publishing Agreement you will be required to make a certification with respect to a declaration of conflicting interests. Organization Studies does not require a declaration of conflicting interests, but recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.


6. Other Conventions

Tables and figures should be on separate pages (at the end of the paper), and a note should be placed in the text to indicate their approximate position, e.g. Table X about here. All tables, figures, plates, etc., should be numbered separately: Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. and Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Figures should be suitable for direct reproduction in black and white. Please keep tints to a minimum.


7. Acknowledgements

Any acknowledgements should appear first at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any notes and your references.

All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an 'Acknowledgements' section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Authors should disclose whether they had any writing assistance and identify the entity that paid for this assistance.

 

Funding acknowledgement

To comply with the guidance for research funders, authors and publishers issued by the Research Information Network (RIN), Organization Studies additionally requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit Funding Acknowledgement on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway for funding acknowledgement guidelines.


8. Permissions

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from copyright holders for reproducing any illustrations, tables, figures or lengthy quotations previously published elsewhere.
