Oxford University Press Journals

Oxford Journals Online (OUP) had its origins in the information technology revolution of the late fifteenth century. In 1586 the University itself obtained a decree from the Star Chamber confirming its privilege to print books. OUP as it exists today began to develop in a recognizable form from the year 1668. OUP began to expand internationally, starting with the opening of an American office in 1896. Since 1896, OUP’s development in all areas has been rapid. Music, journals, and electronic publishing have all been introduced within the last 75 years.
