Notability notice[edit]
Dear User:BuySomeApples Thanks for your revision. While I am still searching for relevant sources to be added and hope in the intervention of other authors to improve this page (I just added a 'Reception' section), I submit to your consideration that the volume appears with a well reputed scientific editor Routledge. The editors are competent scholars with a solid track record, and the subject is all important for its focus on the use of science for policy that has been gaining importance in recent years. We all agree that Wikipedia cannot be Borges's The Library of Babel, still solid academic books should have their place. Accepting books suggested by authors in academia increases the participation of these latter to the Wikipedia project.[1] This book is quoted in 152 academic articles according to Google Scholar at the date of today. For a book published in 2020 this is not bad. Any suggestion is welcome. Thanks for reading this far!

- Hi @Saltean: I totally get where you're coming from and I wish notability was more flexible too tbh. I think you should focus on finding reviews of the book, if you can add like 2 reviews that would probably do it. Citing the book itself is probably the worst thing you can do in terms of refs.
