The Policy Press at the University of Bristol is pleased to announce the
launch today of Policy Press Scholarship Online (PPSO)
http://www.policypress.universitypressscholarship.com/ on OUP's University
Press Scholarship Online (UPSO) platform with nearly 300 digital titles
across three major subject areas: sociology, social work and public health
and epidemiology.
Responding to increased demand for online scholarly content, UPSO
streamlines the research process by making disparately published monographs
easily accessible, highly discoverable and fully cross-searchable via one
online platform. Research that previously would have required users to jump
between a variety of books and disconnected websites can now be concentrated
through a single search engine.
Alison Shaw, Director of The Policy Press, said "Having PPSO as part of UPSO
greatly improves the discoverability of our authors' work and allow us to
reach new audiences globally. UPSO gives us an unrivalled opportunity to
provide user friendly access to our content in the way people want it. We
think UPSO is the best collection of scholarly publishing available and we
are very proud and pleased to be a part of it."
Benefits of UPSO for academics, libraries, and partner presses:
. Provides the highest quality scholarly content across 22 subject
areas
. Includes a vast and growing number of titles 7000+ titles are
available at launch, 652 of which are new titles, with abstracts and
keywords at both the book and chapter level for each title
. All UPSO content is available in XML, which provides deep tagging
and better search results. Content can also be saved downloaded to PDF
. Fully cross-referenced and cross-searchable, with clickable
citations from bibliographies and footnotes, including OpenURL and
DOI-linking support

Niko Pfund, President of OUP, Inc. said, "With its high quality list of
social science books, The Policy Press has long had an impact beyond the
academy, influencing policy making and practice around the world. We're
pleased to be in a position to help The Policy Press reach an even wider
audience."
