This request was honoured by the court and, last Friday, Mr. J.L.M. Groenewegen (CMS) was appointed as administrator.” In the light of this, please send subscription renewals and payments for SAGE journals via other subscription agents or directly to SAGE. If you have recently made any payments to SWETS for subscription renewals relating to SAGE journals, please contact SAGE's Customer Services representatives to review the status of these renewals. They can also help with any other renewal queries you may have about individual SAGE journal title renewals.
