"I share Policy Press’s belief in the importance of Open Access publishing in reaching wider audiences and achieving greater impact for my work. I chose to publish with them because their non-profit status better chimes with the aims and values of Open Access as a whole."
Mark Williams, Reader in Human Resource Management, Queen Mary University of London and author of Mapping Good Work

"The ethos of co-production within our international research teams straddling high-, middle- and low-income countries made Open Access publishing a natural decision. The results have been impressive – not only have total downloads far exceeded sales of paper copies but the geographical disaggregation of those downloads shows clearly how many people, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, would have been precluded from access by a paywall. COVID-19 lockdowns around the world have further underlined the global benefit of free downloads."
David Simon, FACSS, Professor of Development Geography, Royal Holloway, University of London. Author of Comparative Urban Research From Theory To Practice

"I see it as vital that health inequalities research has the widest reach possible – OA makes this possible and as a non-profit publisher, Policy Press better espouses the values of the OA movement and of the public health field."
Clare Bambra, Professor of Public Health, Newcastle University, UK.  Editor of Health in Hard Times: Austerity and Health Inequalities
