SAGE Publishing condemns the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the tactics that Russia is using that are worsening the humanitarian crisis that has resulted from it.

We are committed to supporting the people of Ukraine, and in particular those in the education and research community whom we serve.

We also support those in Russia who have bravely denounced their government’s actions, including many in the academic community.

Some actions we are taking include:

  • Opening up our platforms to users in Ukraine so that there are no restrictions on the content that they can access for teaching or research.

  • Ensuring that SAGE content is also freely available to Ukraine via Research4Life

  • Making a corporate donation to UNICEF’s work in Ukraine

  • Matching without limit SAGE staff donations to charities working in the areas of conflict relief and refugee support.

We will follow governments’ and EU guidance on how businesses should respond to this crisis and we will continue to monitor the situation to assess how else we can provide impactful support.
