Urgent message regarding SWETS Subscription Agents going into administration

 

SWETS, the subscription agent, has written to publishers to say that "To protect the business interests of Swets & Zeitlinger Group BV, we have requested the court in Amsterdam to declare a suspension of payments of Swets & Zeitlinger Group BV and appoint an administrator. 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.
