The portfolio of medical journals includes some OA titles.
Wichtig Publishing was established in Italy over 40 years ago. Its list includes titles on oncology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, biomaterials and more.
SAGE is committed to growing its footprint in the STM sector.
Speaking on behalf of Wichtig, Giulio Zuanetti, welcomed the move:
“SAGE is one of those rare companies which has the global reach of a large business, with the mindset and culture of a smaller company who works directly with the scholarly community. We know with confidence that SAGE is the right publisher to take forwards the development of these journals and we look forward to seeing them prosper in their new home.”
SAGE will publish its first issues in January 2018.
