Oxford University Press’ Read and Publish agreements allow researchers from participating institutions to read high-quality peer-reviewed research from OUP Journals as well as publish open access articles. We see Read and Publish agreements as one of the key ways in which we can sustainably move towards open access (OA) in line with our mission to further the University’s objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. As the largest university press publisher of open access research, we work with institutions to understand their needs and support them in facilitating open access publishing by their researchers.


Benefits for institutions: • Full access to the Oxford Journals Collection • Secure online dashboard and control over author open access requests


• Detailed, live reporting on open access papers published


Benefits for researchers: • Access to OUP’s high-impact research • Easy way to publish open access • Straightforward compliance with funder mandates


OUP has 20 Read and Publish agreements with institutions and consortia which provide funding for open access publishing.

Introducing the Faculty Opinions Score: a radically new metric in research evaluation


Faculty Opinions is a powerful tool for the qualitative assessment of research, blending the rigor and expertise of a faculty of over 8,000 leading experts across biology and medicine with superior technology. Researchers at academic institutions around the world rely on our 230,000+ article recommendations to explore the literature and find the most important research in Life Sciences.


With over 20 years’ worth of opinion and expertise shared by our Faculty, our recommendations are a remarkably strong predictor of articles that will ultimately be highly cited and have significant impact. This enables researchers to progress their careers, and institutions and funding bodies to identify rising-star researchers and future trends in research.


As an exciting next step in the Faculty Opinions evolution, we launched the Faculty Opinions Score, an innovative mark of research quality. The Faculty Opinions Score combines the qualitative assessment by the experts in our Faculty with the article’s bibliometric performance, to produce a radically new metric in the research evaluation landscape. Read more about the Score here.


The introduction of the Faculty Opinions Score is the first of many new initiatives that will champion rigorous and transparent qualitative assessment of research.

Chemical Science: home to exceptional research and thought-provoking ideas


Since 2015, the Royal Society of Chemistry’s flagship journal has been open and free, for authors and readers. Chemical Science publishes research that is helping to solve the world’s biggest challenges, which, being diamond open access, is available to anyone looking for novel ideas and progressive thinking in the chemical sciences and beyond.


The fundamentals of Chemical Science:


• A focus on impactful work of the highest quality, highlighting a particular area or crossing many, bringing undiscovered breakthroughs within reach


• Diamond open access: we cover the costs so that everyone can put the research first and new knowledge can be accessed by anyone who wants to act on it


• An experienced editorial team of active scientists work together with an international community of outstanding chemical scientists


• A reputation as a leader for author experience. Fast submission, fair judgement, high standards, and support throughout the publishing process


Just as our authors’ work is shaping the future of chemistry, the Chemical Science team’s work is shaping and improving publishing practices. The journal introduced a smarter submission system in 2019 which has contributed to saving more than 6,000 hours of research time, and its paper tracking system has been rolled out to the wider Royal Society of Chemistry journal portfolio.


Chemical Science is a journal with the bar set high – because we’re publishing for long- term impact.
