Sage Publications launch free online sample copy service

Sage Publications has launched an online sample copy service for all
visitors to their website: www.sagepub.co.uk.

Free electronic sample issues of journals currently published from Sage
Publications' London office are now available as PDF files on their
website. A further 16 new journals being published in 2001 will be put on
the website once their first issue is published.

To view the electronic samples, visitors should go to Sage Publications'
website and follow the online sample copies link. This will direct them to
all journal samples currently available online.

This new online service increases the range of free electronic services
Sage Publications now provides on its website. Sage Contents Alerting
Service, launched in January 2000, provides free email table of contents
to those who register for the service. The service has been a great
success and currently has over 10,000 subscriptions.

Stephen Barr, Managing Director of Sage Publications in London said:  "We
are extremely pleased to be launching our new online sample copy service
which will give anyone who is interested the chance to evaluate our
journals from the convenience of their desktop before contributing or
subscribing."
