FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAGE Publications Contributes Journals to Developing World Research
Initiative
INASP and SAGE team up to provide online access to hundreds of SAGE's
publications for research institutions in developing countries.
Thousand Oaks and London, August 31 2005 - SAGE Publications is
delighted to announce the signing of an agreement with the International
Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) for
2006. Under the terms of the agreement, SAGE will provide online access
to more than 300 SAGE journals to research institutions in 66 of the
world's less developed countries, either free of charge or for greatly
subsidized rates.
This agreement was arranged via the Programme for the Enhancement of
Research
Information (PERI), an INASP initiative. This programme supports
capacity building in the research sector of developing countries by
strengthening the production, access and dissemination of information
and knowledge.
For a full list of countries whose researchers will benefit from this
agreement with SAGE, see the INASP website at

"The objectives of the PERI programme fit closely with SAGE's core
company values, which aim to support the dissemination of teaching and
research on a global scale," commented Stephen Barr, Managing Director
of SAGE UK. "We are delighted to have been invited to participate in
this important program."
