- Bristol University Press (BUP) is an award-winning, mission-driven publisher dedicated to addressing pressing social challenges. As a leading international voice in the social sciences, BUP, along with its prestigious imprint, Policy Press, publishes rigorous research to promote social justice and influence real-world policy.
BUP’s list spans a wide range of social science and aligned disciplines, including sociology, politics and international relations, social policy, public policy, criminology, social work, human geography, international development, environment and sustainability, business and management, law, and urban studies. The peer-reviewed publishing programme encompasses monographs, edited collections, textbooks, policy and practice and professional titles and a portfolio of influential journals.
A defining feature of the Press is its mission driven approach: over two thirds of its recent publishing directly engages with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with titles addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, gender justice, sustainability, democratic governance, cities and communities, and human rights. Through its Policy Press imprint, founded in 1996, BUP continues a well established tradition of publishing research that informs policy and practice and supports social justice.
BUP also champions open access and equitable knowledge dissemination. Our work has achieved more than four million OA downloads across 195 countries, amplifying global reach and impact. The Press is home to the Global Social Challenges Journal, the first open-access social science journal dedicated to interdisciplinary research on global challenges. - Journals Information
