Sage Publications
Forty years ago, a new social science publisher named SAGE Publications launched an innovative journal called Urban Affairs Quarterly. Today, SAGE continues to publish Urban Affairs Quarterly (now Urban Affairs Review) along with 400 other journals and over 350 book titles a year. SAGE is now one of the world's leading commercial academic publishers. Its growth has been propelled by its abiding passion to play a creative role in society as a global champion of teaching and research.
SAGE occupies an essential niche between the big conglomerates and university presses and has become the natural home of thousands of book authors and the more than 400 editors and scholarly societies that entrust SAGE with publishing their journals. Over the years, SAGE has played a central role in the development of several key areas of study, including communication, evaluation and research methods. Its books and journals are cutting edge, thought provoking, and critical and contain forward-looking material that has global reach.
New technologies not even dreamed of four decades ago enable SAGE to deliver its journals electronically through the award-winning SAGE Full-Text Collections and SAGE Journals Online.
As SAGE enters its fifth decade, it has maintained its vision and embraced dynamic new technologies that place it at the forefront of academic publishing. It is well positioned to continue to publish the very best scholarship and make it available to the widest audience. SAGE Publications is a global publisher with headquarters in Newbury Park, California.
Sara Miller McCune is publisher and chairman of Sage Publications. At UCSB, she serves as a trustee of The UCSB Foundation, and has been a generous benefactor of the campus.
