Bristol University Press and Policy Press

Winner of the IPA Independent Academic and Professional Publisher of the Year 2024 award, Bristol University Press, and its imprint Policy Press, are committed to publishing the highest-quality international scholarship in the social sciences and aligned disciplines, with a focus on global social challenges. Publishing both academic books and journals, we want our work to make a positive contribution and have impact beyond academia. As a not-for-profit university press, we put integrity before profit to provide an internationally respected platform for the global scholarly community to disseminate work that matters. Our online platform, Bristol University Press Digital, provides access to books, journal articles and collections from across the social sciences that address global social challenges and support the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with exclusive access to the new, non-profit, open access Global Social Challenges Journal. We are also proud to have signed the We Show the Salary pledge, which promises to include salary information on every job ad.
