Read & Publish Agreements
As part of the license agreements made between Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS) and a number of big publishers, an emerging approach to open access and open science, known as the "Read & Publish" or Transformative Agreement, was launched. Based on those agreements, BU members are eligable to have their publications be open access without paying any Article Processing Cost (APC) in case they publish at the journals of listed publishers.

About SAGE Open Access (OA)
Dear Boğaziçi University Members,
The SAGE Premier Journals Database, to which we subscribe within the scope of the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS), provides certain rights for publications to be made open access within the scope of the 2026 agreement. The SAGE Open Access (OA) journal package is offered with the SAGE Choice special package. This package covers 95% of SAGE journals.
For ANKOS member institutions with a SAGE subscription, the article processing charge (APC) will be applied as 200 GBP instead of 3000-4000 GBP.
This amount can be paid by the author, the institution, or another funding agency. SAGE can offer alternative invoicing and payment methods to institutions and authors regarding this matter. Authors at ANKOS SAGE member institutions will automatically be invoiced at the specified discounted price in the system when submitting their articles.
