Clay Shirky
‘Publishing is going away.... That’s not a job
anymore. That’s a button.
There’s a button that says “publish,” and when you
press it, it’s done.’

‘You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts’

Offering a one-off grant to a social researcher who wants to take an idea
from concept to a prototype, or even a product.
SAGE would offer up to 4 grants of up to £25K / $30K in 2018.
This would get us involved with developers on Day 1 with products that
we may one day sell, as well as being a great PR opportunity as we
establish ourselves as guardians in this emerging area of computational
social research.
Identifying tools where use is limited and that we can use our brand,
product development expertise and sales & marketing heft to scale and
sell.

distribution arrangement for SAGE
