How To Use Sage Journals Online: Sage Journals account

You must have a Sage Journals account and be signed into it in order to be able to save, print, or email articles to yourself in batches. 

Unlike many other databases, Sage Journals will not save your marked citations for you once you log out or close the window. You will also lose your marked citations after 30 minutes of inactivity.

The Sage Journals account is separate from the Empire login and password that you used to get into the database.

If you do not have a Sage Journals account, you can mark citations, but they will disappear as soon as your session expires or you log out or close the window. 

1. Click Sign In in the thin menu bar at the very top of the page.
2. Under Sign Up, click the Click here link. 
3. You may get a security certificate error. In this case, it is nothing to worry about.

In Adobe Reader, hover your mouse cursor over the page and print and save icons will appear on the lower right side.
