I just wanted to say that Sage is the most cooperative publisher when it
comes to electronic distribution and ADA accommodation. I like them.

Hi Piotr,
I looked up Teaching Sociology, and found that
they are in the Sage
journals
family. Sage recently launched a hybrid policy,
called "Sage Choice":
http://www.sagepub.com/sagechoice.sp. This describes what I'm talking
about:
if the author pays the bounty to release an
article from journal jail,
the
publisher will gladly go open access--for that
article only. Sage's rate
is
$3,000. Other journal prices I've seen are
typically in the $2,000 to
$3,000
range per article. This is the fair market price
of publishing in a
high-quality open access journal (e.g.
http://www.plos.org/journals/pubfees.php).
I'd say avoid Sage if at all possible. They are one of the publishers
involved in this craziness:

Sage is one of the publishers (along with Cambridge and Oxford) suing
a university over copyright infringement and asking for an injunction
that would essentially obliterate fair use at that university.
-Sage (not the publisher!)
