Now Through October 15, 2010: Free Access to SAGE Journals Online (560+ Titles, 1999-Current)
Last week we mentioned that SAGE had completed migrating all 560+ journals to their next generation platform for SAGE Journals Online (SJO). The new platform is supported by HighWire Press’ “2.0” technology (H2O).
In the post we pointed out that at the beginning of September, SAGE would offer free access to their entire catalog of journals.
The free online trial is now underway. After you register you'll have trial access to more than 290,000 articles from more than 560 SAGE journals with content available from 1999-current. Of course, you'll be using the new SJO platform to search/browse/retrieve the material.
The free access trial period runs until October 15th. The registration process took just a couple of minutes (we thought it was going to take longer).
Btw, your registration will also provide access to email alerts and use of the My Favorite Journal feature.
See Also: When we mention alerts we have to mention the wonderful and also free JournalTocs service that lets users to select and receive toc alerts via RSS from 14,095 journals that are published by 598 publishers.
Also, developers and those responsible for new resources might be interested in learning that JournalTocs has an API that allows all sorts of custom services. Learn more about the API.
