ABOUT US
Oxford Journals is a division of Oxford University Press, which is a department of Oxford University. We publish well over 230 academic and research journals covering a broad range of subject areas, two-thirds of which are published in collaboration with learned societies and other international organizations. See a full list of our titles.
Our mission, as part of the University, is to bring the highest quality research to the widest possible audience.
We have been publishing journals for more than a century, and as part of the world’s oldest and largest university press, have more than 500 years of publishing expertise behind us.

Working in partnership
Oxford Journals is working with over 100 society partners to maximize the global reach of journals published by us on their behalf. We also engage with librarians through advisory groups and other means to ensure that we continue to meet their changing needs.
We endeavour to provide our authors with an excellent level of service, including licences which allow their research to be as widely disseminated as possible. Read more about our work with librarians, societies, and authors.
Providing quality and value
An integral part of our scholarly mission is to publish journals of the highest quality, which is demonstrated by their impact factor rankings. According to the 2008 Journal Citation Reports, over one quarter of our titles are in the top 10% and approximately three quarters in the top 50% of their subject category. Find out more about our latest impact factors. Our journals are great value as well as high quality. LISU’s 2007 study of eleven leading publishers reveals that in 2006 Oxford Journals had the lowest price per page and the lowest price per point of impact factor.
We’re not afraid to do things differently
One of the first publishers to experiment with open access, we are sharing our results with the academic community. Our research is enabling an evidence-based understanding of the implications of this business model on scholarly research dissemination. Read more about the Oxford Open initiative.
We think globally
For us, sharing knowledge is not just for the privileged few. We offer free or greatly reduced online access to many of our journals in the world’s poorest countries. So far more than 2500 educational institutions have benefited from our developing countries initiatives.
