Fwd: OA book publisher - Intech - reputation? - Canadaoer

26 Jan 2018

Does anyone know anything about this publisher? I’ve already told Catherine that the open
textbook initiatives I’ve dealt with don’t charge authors to publish books openly.

Hi Heather,

I hope this email finds you well.  I periodically check to see if there are any good
options for open access books for physical therapy (one of my library liaison areas).  I
ran across Intech (https://www.intechopen.com<https://www.intechopen.com/>/)  and am
wondering if you know anything about it.  I have done some checking, but would value your
thoughts/experience if this is a publisher you are familiar with.

Thank you and have a good day!

Catherine
