SAGE Rolls Out RSS Feeds for all Journals on SAGE Journals Online

Thousand Oaks, California, London, United Kingdom, and New Delhi, 
India (April 24, 2006) - SAGE Publications announced today that 
all of its journals now offer tables of contents RSS feeds on the 
SAGE Journals Online platform located at 
http://online.sagepub.com.

The roll out of this new feature ensures SAGE remains at the 
forefront of electronic publishing by offering the most flexible 
routes to the online content of the company's 400+ journals. SAGE 
Journals Online already provides advanced alerting services with 
tables of contents, keyword, author and citation alerts available 
alongside the new RSS option.

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (also known as Rich Site 
Summary) and is an XML specification that allows content 
providers (such as SAGE) to provide a portion or all of their 
content via XML files that are then read by an RSS reader or web 
browser. RSS facilitates the ability for users to select and pull 
content from a variety of different content providers using their 
RSS reader or web browser. The RSS feed sends headlines with 
links and brief descriptions directly to users' desktops as soon 
as the desired content is available.

"We are excited to be able to provide the RSS feeds as over 
recent months, RSS has rapidly become the online standard for 
information aggregation," said John Shaw, SAGE's Director of 
Publishing Technologies. "SAGE is committed to assisting 
researchers and users by offering the most flexible ways to 
access our content online. With RSS aggregators like Feedster, 
Bloglines, etc, new users will easily be able to locate SAGE's 
journal content. Working closely with HighWire Press, we have 
been able to quickly respond to the changing needs of the 
marketplace."
