SAGE announced the launch of a new online network, Socialsciencespace, which brings together researchers, funders, societies, think tanks, policy makers and government to explore, share, and debate the major issues in social science. Launched in association with major learned societies and professional bodies from around the world, socialsciencespace acts as a hub for all groups connected with social science research. Initial contributions feature leading figures from academia and beyond, including the Academy for Social Sciences; Institute for Education; the Metropolitan Police; the National Institute of Health; and the Institute for Government.The network features blog posts on key issues such as funding and ‘impact’; a forum to share discussion; a resource center with free videos, reports and slides, and events listings for social science conferences and seminars across the world. All content is freely accessible and the site is free to join. SAGE is an international publisher of journals, books, and electronic media for academic, educational, and professional markets.
