Based in the heart of Central London, the University of Westminster Press (UWP) is a digital-first open access publisher of peer reviewed academic books, policy briefs and journals that was launched in 2015. It publishes widely in the social sciences, humanities and in environmental studies across its range of 41 books and various journals. A 'New University Press' (NUP) or mircopress, the University of Westminster Press maximises its impact via open access. By June 2020, views and downloads of its publications had exceeded 667,000 with 219 separate authors from 33 countries. The majority of its contributions are from non-UK authors in contemporary and interdisciplinary subject fields that reflect some of the research strengths of the University.
