Our Take
SAGE Journals is the full-text home for SAGE’s catalogue, which is unusually strong in the social sciences, health, and — notably — research methods and methodology journals. If you work in those areas it is a core platform; outside them it is peripheral. The usual publisher-platform caveats apply. Use it for SAGE social-science and methods titles; discover across the field with a citation index.
