Re: SAGE rolls out rewards program for all journal reviewers

Interesting points. But, it *could*, in any event, come in handy 
for many a scholar who's at any given time got -- as many have -- 
one or more article projects on hold or in progress and could 
well use such 30-day free access to accomplish at least a 
significant part of the necessary and standard 'review(s) of the 
literature', or simply to do an intensive stint of the relevant 
research. I know I could make good use of such access from time 
to time. A not really insignificant reward, perhaps, at least for 
some.

Given the conditions of this rewards program ["Reviewers will be 
offered free 30-day access to all titles on the SAGE Journals 
Online platform, as well as a 25% discount on all SAGE books."], 
what's the likelihood that reviewers will see the final form of 
the articles that they peer reviewed? Probably very small. And, 
in 30 days how realistic is it to to register and have time to 
get the flavor of even the current journals in one's own field 
(and persuade your library to subscribe, if doesn't already)? 
Program is headed in the right direction, but seems like six 
months would do the job better?  Ann Okerson
