Sage - Transformative agreement

• The corresponding author will be identified and recognized on the publisher's platform primarily through their primary affiliation with the School declared at the time of submission and, if necessary, through the institutional email address domain or via the Ringgold ID;
• the author decides whether to publish in open access through the transformative agreement;
• the affiliation will be checked by the institution;
• after validation of the affiliation, the article will be published in open access and the author retains copyright to his work.

We strongly invite our affiliated corresponding authors to use the institutional email account when submitting their papers to Sage.

The validation of the corresponding author takes into account the date of acceptance of the article on the part of the publisher independently of the date of the first submission.
