The following services are available through the University Library:
- Reading Access
At TUM, you have access rights to almost the entire journal portfolio of Sage.
- Open Access Publishing
As a "Corresponding Author" affiliated with TUM, you have the opportunity to publish your papers Open Access in almost all Sage hybrid journals and its approx. 140 Gold Open Access journals. There are no costs for you personally when publishing Open Access. APCs (Article Processing Charges) are covered by TUM and managed through the University Library. If you opt for additional services (e.g., color illustrations or extra length) with the publisher, Sage will invoice you directly for those expenses.

Mandatory Affiliation Statement
For cost coverage and the precise attribution of your publication, it is crucial that you indicate TUM as your primary affiliation and utilize the binding, standardized affiliation designation. Please adhere to the specifications outlined in the TUM Publication Guidelines for all your publication projects. Always use your TUM email address (@tum.de or @mytum.de) for the submission process to ensure that the publisher correctly affiliates you with TUM.
