Submission Preflight (commres-submission)
The last check before pressing submit on SAGE Track (ScholarOne). CR is double-anonymized, so
the single most common avoidable failure is an under-anonymized main document or supplement. Verify
volatile specifics on the SAGE author page before relying on them.
When to trigger
"Submitting tomorrow" — last pass before upload
Unsure which files/metadata SAGE Track expects
Confirming the page limit, APA reporting, and anonymization are clean
Process facts (verify volatile items on the official page)
Portal:SAGE Track (ScholarOne); author guidelines at
journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/crx (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
Review model:double-anonymized — anonymize the main document and supplemental materials;
provide a separate title page. An initial evaluation precedes peer review; two independent
reviews are required to back a Revise or Accept. Reviewers recommend to the Co-editors, who make
the final decision.
Reviewer suggestions: the journal assigns reviewers and does not accept author
recommendations — do not include a suggested-reviewer list.
Length: manuscript no more than 45 pages, double-spaced, inclusive of references;
supplementary files do not count toward the page limit.
Abstract:unstructured, no more than 150 words, placed between title and main body;
clinical-trial registration details (if applicable) go at the end of the abstract.
Special issues: CR does not publish special issues and does not work with guest editors.
Preprints: accepted as prior posting — supply the DOI at submission, and add the
final-version link if accepted.
Style & reporting:APA; report statistics in line with APA — standard deviations and effect
sizes where applicable; power analysis, confidence intervals for bootstrapping, and correlation
matrices (as an online appendix) are encouraged where relevant.
Self-citations: written in the third person.
Transparency:data-availability statement expected; note any preregistration in the cover
letter; deposit open-materials/data if claiming open practices; provide ORCID where requested.
Fee: no submission fee for the standard (subscription) route (verified 2026-06-22); an optional
open-access APC applies only if you choose OA after acceptance — SAGE sets the amount on its live
OA page (confirm before quoting).
