Major Enhancements to Oxford University Online

Oxford University Press (OUP) has just completed a major expansion of its largest online reference product, Oxford Scholarship Online (OSO). Now, for the first time, the majority of OUP's scholarly monographs will be published online as well as in print. The number of full-text titles available in the database has grown to 1,815 books in 13 subject areas.

This online resource now includes modules in the subject areas of biology, business and management, classical studies, history, linguistics, literature, mathematics, psychology and physics in addition to the existing subject modules of political science, philosophy, religion and economics and finance. Users can be assured of the quality and accuracy of OUP's products — all academic titles published by OUP are extensively peer reviewed and approved for publication by a board of leading academics from Oxford University.

New features include:

  • Unlimited access and comprehensive coverage in the 13 key disciplines making classic works of scholarship, together with newly-published works, more accessible than ever before.
  • The addition of more than 450,000 book pages and in excess of 200 million words.
  • The addition of 400 books each year, along with regular updates three times a year.
  • Keywords and abstracts at both book and chapter level with the vast majority written by the original author.
  • Comprehensive and consistent structure — every title has a home page with abstracts at book and chapter level and full bibliographic information.

Trials for all 13 modules are now available. This resource is available either as perpetual access or as a subscription.
