News: IMR & JMHS to be Published by SAGE

[I actually just learned about this new development from Jørgen Carling's Twitter feed!]

The Center for Migration Studies (CMS) announced that SAGE Publishing will assume responsibility for the publication of its two periodicals, International Migration Review (IMR) and Journal of Migration and Human Security (JMHS). No dates have been specified yet for the final transition.

IMR has been published by Wiley since 2001; its issues can still be accessed there, although SAGE has a basic IMR page in place at this time. 

What ramifications will this new development have from an open access perspective? Well, JMHS has been published in-house as an open access journal since 2013. I checked with CMS, and happily, JMHS will continue to be made available open access even with the change-over.

As for IMR, SAGE's policies regarding hybrid OA and self-archiving are as follows: 1) The standard APC for SAGE Choice articles is $3000 - the same as Wiley; 2) Postprints can be posted on personal web sites and deposited in institutional repositories immediately upon publication; otherwise, there is a 12-month embargo for archiving in subject repositories. By contrast, Wiley stipulated a 24-month embargo for any posting of the postprint.
