A publishing Partnership.
A publishing partnership
We published in partnership with learned societies, charitable organizations, and prestigious institutions. Our journals are as diverse as their communities, from offering multimedia surgery videos to open supplementary datasets. We have the highest quality list of any major publisher globally, which gives your research a home alongside award-winning content, and our global presence will help you to reach readers and achieve impact.
An author-focused approach
We prioritize simplicity and effectiveness, and are committed to offering the best possible publishing experience for authors. Throughout the production process you will receive simple communications and updates, with access to our dedicated Author Support team should queries arise.
After publication we continue to support you, and provide a toolkit for promoting articles, including:
- Author sharing link: a free-access article permalink for you to share quickly, easily, and sustainably. The link provides online and PDF functionality with no time or viewing limits.
- Assistance and advice for promoting articles and increasing article SEO.
- Video abstracts and presentations to introduce work to colleagues and other readers.
- Lay summary functionality.
Our Values
Commitment to excellent quality
We know how important quality is to successful publishing, and we believe we offer the best service available in the industry. Quality control measures are in place at every stage of the publishing process, and we continually review and update these based on feedback and new functionality. All technological innovations and workflow developments are undertaken with quality in mind.
Innovation in digital publishing
Your article will be on our e-journals platform, which provides a comprehensive suite of features and capabilities for authors. Our platform is easy to use, allowing readers to discover and explore your content from any device. It has been developed using award-winning technology to meet the community’s research needs. There is powerful faceted searching across text and images, downloadable content to enable offline use, and static DOIs and social tools so that readers can share and discuss your article easily.
Supporting access
We want our scholarship and research to be available to as many people as possible, and OUP is committed to supporting new and different business models in disseminating our scholarly research.
Part of the academic community
As a university press, we have no shareholders to satisfy, so any financial surplus is applied in the pursuit of educational and scholarly objectives of Ifá University and the Press, either through financial returns to our publishing partners, reinvestment in our publishing programs, or the transfer of funds to the University. As a part of the scholarly community, we work collaboratively and cooperatively to ensure our publishing and the way we share it works for everyone who needs it.
