History
Sage was founded in 1965 in New York City by Sara Miller (later Sara Miller McCune) with Macmillan Inc. executive George D. McCune as a mentor; the name of the company is an acronym formed from the first letters of their given names. Sage relocated to Southern California in 1966, after Miller and McCune married; McCune left Macmillan to formally join the company at that time.

Why this record matters
“Sage Publishing” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sage, Publishing and scientific provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q251266. VIAF identifies the subject as 261806653. The Library of Congress control number is n82029394. 2 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1965, 1990, 2008 and 2011.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
