Fwd: OA book publisher - Intech - reputation?
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. Heather M.

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!
