Our open access publishing is key to delivering on our mission

Open access (OA) is a key part of how Oxford University Press (OUP) supports our mission to achieve the widest possible dissemination of high-quality research.  We publish rigorously peer-reviewed, world-leading, trusted open access research, upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and integrity.

We work closely with our publishing partners to ensure that we offer open access in a sustainable way, supporting publications for their communities and offering researchers publishing options for making their research available to all and compliant with funder mandates.

Our open access publishing in numbers

Our open access articles have the highest number of policy and patent document mentions, relative to volume of output, compared to other major academic publishers*

Our open access articles have the 2nd highest mean lifetime citation rate compared to other major academic publishers**

12 of our journals are diamond OA, meaning authors publish for free and readers access for free

We publish over 120 fully open access journals

More than 250 of the books we have published are open access

Over 400 of our journals have adopted a research data policy

Our Read & Publish agreements cover more than 900 institutions at which authors can use funds to publish their article open access in an OUP journal

More than 22,000 of the journal articles we published in 2022 are open access

Open access for Journals

OUP’s options for publishing open access in journals include:

Fully open access

Articles published in fully OA journals are available to all; no subscription is required. OUP’s fully OA journals use Creative Commons licenses and there is usually an Article Processing Charge (APC) for OA publication.

Hybrid open access

Hybrid journals include a mix of open access articles and articles available to those with a journal subscription.

Hybrid journals offer authors the option of gold open access publishing. With gold open access, authors usually pay an APC to make their research articles available immediately upon publication, under a Creative Commons licence with re-use rights for readers.

For articles published under a Creative Commons licence, readers can re-use the work under the terms of the applicable licence.

‘Read and Publish’ transformative agreements

OUP has agreements with many institutions to provide access to OUP journals for faculty and students and provide funding for open access publishing for affiliated researchers. Find out which institutions are participating, and how to take advantage of available funding for publishing in an OUP journal .

Green open access and self-archiving

OUP has self-archiving policies that permit authors to take advantage of green open access by depositing their accepted manuscript (i.e. the post-acceptance version, before copyediting) into a non-commercial repository. In non-commercial repositories, articles can become freely available after the proscribed embargo period. Find out more about OUP green OA for journals .

Inclusive publishing

OUP believes that the move to open access and open research needs to be equitable and inclusive for all. We want to ensure that authors can publish in their journal of choice. As part of our Developing Countries Initiative , corresponding authors based in qualifying countries publishing in any of OUP’s fully open access journals are eligible for a full waiver of their open access charge.

Open access for Books

OUP has supported OA for books since 2012 as part of our mission to publish high-quality academic and research publications and ensure they are accessible and discoverable.

Publishing your book on an OA basis makes your work freely available online, with no barriers to access. OUP applies the same peer review and editorial development processes to all books whether published open access or under a customer sales model.

If you are considering publishing a book on an OA basis with OUP, please discuss the idea with your Editor. In most instances, the open access fee for books is met by a research funder under their funding and open access policy. All prospective authors are encouraged to provide information on any funding which directly supports the research for a proposed book so that we can plan the publishing route accordingly. You can also consult our information on funders and funder policies.

When a book is published OA it is:

available to read on the Oxford Academic platform both in a browser and as a downloadable PDF

available on Google books as a full preview

indexed in, and available from, the OAPEN online library and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB) as a PDF

sold in print and as an eBook

About half of americans say public k-12 education is going in the wrong direction.

About half of U.S. adults (51%) say the country’s public K-12 education system is generally going in the wrong direction. A far smaller share (16%) say it’s going in the right direction, and about a third (32%) are not sure, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in November 2023.

Pew Research Center conducted this analysis to understand how Americans view the K-12 public education system. We surveyed 5,029 U.S. adults from Nov. 9 to Nov. 16, 2023.

The survey was conducted by Ipsos for Pew Research Center on the Ipsos KnowledgePanel Omnibus. The KnowledgePanel is a probability-based web panel recruited primarily through national, random sampling of residential addresses. The survey is weighted by gender, age, race, ethnicity, education, income and other categories.

Here are the questions used for this analysis , along with responses, and the survey methodology .

A majority of those who say it’s headed in the wrong direction say a major reason is that schools are not spending enough time on core academic subjects.

These findings come amid debates about what is taught in schools , as well as concerns about school budget cuts and students falling behind academically.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say the public K-12 education system is going in the wrong direction. About two-thirds of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (65%) say this, compared with 40% of Democrats and Democratic leaners. In turn, 23% of Democrats and 10% of Republicans say it’s headed in the right direction.

Among Republicans, conservatives are the most likely to say public education is headed in the wrong direction: 75% say this, compared with 52% of moderate or liberal Republicans. There are no significant differences among Democrats by ideology.

Similar shares of K-12 parents and adults who don’t have a child in K-12 schools say the system is going in the wrong direction.

A separate Center survey of public K-12 teachers found that 82% think the overall state of public K-12 education has gotten worse in the past five years. And many teachers are pessimistic about the future.

Why do Americans think public K-12 education is going in the wrong direction?

We asked adults who say the public education system is going in the wrong direction why that might be. About half or more say the following are major reasons:

• Schools not spending enough time on core academic subjects, like reading, math, science and social studies (69%)
• Teachers bringing their personal political and social views into the classroom (54%)
• Schools not having the funding and resources they need (52%)

About a quarter (26%) say a major reason is that parents have too much influence in decisions about what schools are teaching.

How views vary by party

Americans in each party point to different reasons why public education is headed in the wrong direction.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say major reasons are:

• A lack of focus on core academic subjects (79% vs. 55%)
• Teachers bringing their personal views into the classroom (76% vs. 23%)

In turn, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to point to:

• Insufficient school funding and resources (78% vs. 33%)
• Parents having too much say in what schools are teaching (46% vs. 13%)

Views also vary within each party by ideology.

Among Republicans, conservatives are particularly likely to cite a lack of focus on core academic subjects and teachers bringing their personal views into the classroom.

Among Democrats, liberals are especially likely to cite schools lacking resources and parents having too much say in the curriculum.
