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.
