SAGE journal submission requirements
SAGE Publishing is one of the largest academic publishers, covering social sciences (Journal of Marketing Research, Psychological Science), humanities, clinical medicine (Journal of Intensive Care Medicine), and STEM. Citation style varies by journal: social science SAGE journals often use APA, while others use Vancouver or Chicago. All SAGE journals require author declaration statements, and many have adopted open science practices including data availability statements. Some SAGE journals also participate in double-blind peer review. Our checker validates SAGE manuscript requirements.

I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
