Policy Press Scholarship Online
We are delighted that we are partnering with Oxford University Press to launch Policy Press Scholarship Online (PPSO) on OUP’s recently-launched University Press Scholarship Online (UPSO) platform.
PPSO launches in March 2012, with nearly 300 digital titles across three major subject areas: sociology, social work and public health and epidemiology. UPSO is an expansion of Oxford Scholarship Online (OSO), the press’s groundbreaking online platform, and brings together the best scholarly publishing from around the world. Delivering academic monograph content from leading university presses, UPSO offers an unparalleled research tool, making disparately published scholarship easily accessible, highly discoverable, and fully cross-searchable via a single online platform. PPSO will greatly enhance the ability for The Policy Press’ scholarly publishing to be found and used by academics globally.
For academics and researchers in the field, it has the following benefits. You can:
- • Filter results to view your subject specializations or to find the latest scholarship in the field
- • Save time with at-a-glance keywords and abstracts at both book and chapter levels
- • Quickly build bibliographies with automatic exports citations to RefWorks, Endnote, Reference Manager, Zotero, and ProCite
- • Save links to favourite books, chapters and searches within a personalization area to save for a future session
- • Use content as you prefer - whether on screen, printed, downloaded to PDF, emailed, or shared via social sites
- • Make use of the attractive design for readability, functionality, and ease-of-use
