We have updated our author and editor guidelines on the responsible, appropriate, and transparent use of AI, including a policy outlining what AI use should be disclosed when preparing manuscripts for our journals.

In a recent global survey of more than 2,600 researchers, nearly three-quarters (74%) of respondents revealed they were unclear what AI use they should disclose, despite there being strong support for disclosure.

With 44% of researchers concerned that disclosing their use of AI will negatively impact how others view their work, and only 36% recording their AI use during their research, our survey emphasizes the growing gap between AI use and disclosure in academic research, and recognizes the need for clear disclosure policies.

As efforts continue to develop a , our new guidelines intend to support researchers to record and disclose their AI use with confidence. The updates to our guidelines focus on:

• Disclosure of AI use across both books and journal articles, with authors expected to be transparent about any significant use of AI tools
• Human oversight and accountability, with authors responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated content
• Protection of intellectual property and confidentiality to ensure care is taken when using AI tools with unpublished work, copyrighted material, or sensitive content.

Managing Director, Academic

David Clark

鈥淥ur research into AI disclosure follows our 2024 survey, which revealed a wide range of initial perceptions towards AI. Two years on, AI use is more widespread, but there remain major differences in how researchers are adopting, applying, and disclosing these tools.

鈥淎t OUP, we鈥檝e developed AI guidelines for authors with the view that the scholarship we publish must remain valued and protected. We regularly review these against industry guidelines and consider any feedback to ensure clear guidance for authors.

鈥淲e continue to prioritize working with the research community to develop clear publishing standards that support readers and authors in an AI-enabled world.鈥�

We have published the 500th open access monograph on our platform鈥攁 landmark achievement that reflects our ongoing commitment to making high-quality research widely accessible to readers around the world.

This milestone underscores the dedication of our authors and editors in advancing open scholarship to support a more inclusive, collaborative community.

We have supported open access options for books since 2012, both by publishing open access frontlist titles and through converting selected backlist titles to open access. This work means we’re able to broaden the visibility, impact, and longevity of academic research across disciplines.听

We continue to explore the growth of our open access publishing programme: for example, last year we launched the where ten winning early career researchers have their books published open access; and through our pilot with , we’re making approximately 100 backlist books open access at no cost to authors.

But what does open access look like in practice, once a book is out in the world? Some of the authors behind 尤物视频 Academic open access books describe a common theme: reach. Publishing open access removes barriers and expands the audiences that scholarship can serve.

J. Timmons Roberts, Ittleson Professor of Environmental Studies and Sociology at the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, Brown University, highlights what that global reach can mean:

“Open access allowed us to publicize our two assessment volumes on obstruction of climate action broadly and quickly, and to make it available all over the world at once.”

For Yujin Nagasawa, Kingfisher College Chair of the Philosophy of Religion and Ethics and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oklahoma, open access connects directly to being read and engaged with worldwide:

“Publishing my books with OUP as open access titles has, in many ways, made that dream a reality.”

Editors also point to how open access can shape the longer arc of scholarship. Steven C. van den Heuvel, Professor of Systematic Theology at Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven, shared an early sign of impact for The 尤物视频 Compendium of Hope.

“Quantitatively, we can see that, despite it has been out only for a few months, it was already downloaded close to 8,000 times.”

Rebecca Lane

Senior Publisher

“It’s critically important that we offer a clear and easy route to open access publication for books and it’s fantastic to see more and more authors taking up the opportunity to make their work publicly available. We’re proud to celebrate this moment and look forward to publishing our next 500 open access books.”

听is our online interdisciplinary research resource, inviting academics and global experts to investigate the world’s most urgent and challenging subjects from all angles.

As we mark one year since the programme launched, we reflect on the over 300 articles we’ve published since then, covering over 250 subject areas from authors all over the world.

Intersections are organized by topic, inviting ideas from different disciplines to clash, complement, and counterpoint, prompting new viewpoints and questions. Explore some of the original content published so far in our first four topics:

AI in Society

Philipp Hacker, General Editor of AI in Society, and Chair for Law and Ethics of the Digital Society at European University Viadrina:

“AI in Society听investigates AI’s pervasive influence on our economic, legal, personal, and cultural spheres. It takes a unique format, in which contributors from various disciplines collaborate to chart both the promises and societal challenges of AI, with particular attention to generative AI models and their global impact. From my perspective as its General Editor,听AI in Society aims to serve as a reliable reference point for ongoing debates on how to align technological innovation with fundamental rights and societal values.”

Borders

Alexander Diener, Professor of Geography at the University of Kansas, and Joshua Hagen, Dean of the College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, General Editors of Borders:

“We hope readers will engage 尤物视频 Intersections: Borders to encounter new perspectives on a topics that is elemental to human experience and foundational to the form and function of power.”

Racism by Context

Meena Dhanda, General Editor of听Racism by Context听and Professor of Philosophy and Cultural Politics at the University of Wolverhampton:

“Combatting racism requires an unflinchingly analytical understanding of the roots, the history, the manifestation, the mechanisms, the proliferation, and the entanglement of its many forms within institutions and practices across all spheres of human interaction.听Racism by Context has undertaken this enormous challenge by bringing into conversation cutting-edge research from different global locations.”

Social Media in Society and Culture

Laeeq Khan, General Editor of Social Media in Society and Culture and Associate Professor in the School of Media Arts & Studies at Ohio University:

“Addressing today’s most pressing challenges requires a new approach to thinking. An interdisciplinary transformative approach can advance knowledge by exploiting and harmonizing the strengths of various disciplines within a unified framework. This approach deepens our collective understanding by bringing together the disparate and sometimes contradictory perspectives of many disciplines, all of which offer valuable insights.”

We have launched a new 尤物视频 Test of English Learner Corpora (OTELC) research competition, designed to support emerging researchers and showcase innovative academic work using learner data from the .

The to students currently studying for a Master’s degree in Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics, or Language Assessment. Entrants will be asked to submit a research proposal outlining their project and clearly explaining how the OTELC will be used as primary data to support their methodological approach and research objectives. A reference letter from an academic supervisor or course leader will also be required.

The OTELC is a collection of written and spoken texts produced by test takers who sit the Speaking and Writing modules of the 尤物视频 Test of English. These responses are transcribed, structured, linked with metadata (such as first language, age, gender, CEFR level), and are annotated for error types.

Developed as monitor corpora, the OTELC is designed to grow as new test taker responses are added. It provides authentic samples of learner language, offering insights into how learners of English produce written and spoken texts and the linguistic features they use.

As a rich linguistic resource, the OTELC enables research across applied linguistics, language assessment, and English language teaching, giving researchers opportunities to examine patterns in learner performance, explore the challenges faced by test takers, and generate findings that can inform pedagogy and assessment research.

Anthony Green

Research Director, English Assessment

“The 尤物视频 Test of English Learner Corpora competition represents an exciting step in opening up our rich learner data to the next generation of researchers. By supporting postgraduate students, we’re not only encouraging innovative academic work but also strengthening the bridge between assessment research and real-world classroom impact.“

on 15 February 2026, with the deadline for proposals and reference letter submission falling on 31 May 2026. We will announce shortlisted project proposals in July.

From the submissions received, the strongest applications will be selected for the next stage. The overall winner will receive an iPad Air and will have their research published as part of our collection, giving valuable visibility to their work within the English language teaching and language assessment community.

As universities worldwide reconsider how English proficiency is assessed, traditional one-size-fits-all tests often fail to reflect the real skills students need for academic and professional success.

Responding to this, we’re proud to have launched a whitepaper today, exploring the topic of .

Created in partnership with听, our new whitepaper examines:

• What skills institutions really value to ensure academic and social preparedness
• Why conventional English tests are falling short
• How technology and AI are transforming assessment
• What universities should look for in effective language testing.

The findings of the whitepaper reinforce our commitment to delivering English language assessment that is adaptive, authentic, and aligned with the real communication demands of academic and professional environments. It also demonstrates how the continues to evolve to meet the expectations of learners, educators, and universities worldwide.

Sara Pierson

Managing Director, English Assessment

“There鈥檚听growing recognition that assessment must reflect real-world communication and the diverse ways students use language in academic and professional settings.听As the whitepaper sets out, the push for a more听holistic approach听to English-language testing recognizes that language is vital in supporting meaningful engagement with the world around us, not a standalone exercise.“

On 11 March 2026, together with听Times Higher Education, bringing together a panel of experts to explore the critical components for effective language assessment today, and how recognizing the right English proficiency tests can promote successful learner outcomes.

As the needs of learners and institutions evolve, English proficiency tests must actively enable student success, including integrated, task-based designs that mirror real-life language use. A more holistic and adaptive assessment can ensure that test preparation builds skills that translate to professional, academic, and social success, while offering a baseline for targeted support and developmental guidance for students鈥� academic journey.

Anthony Green

Research Director, English Assessment

“As the university experience becomes increasingly digital, interdisciplinary, and collaborative, we have to ask ourselves whether current English-language tests are truly measuring the communication skills students need for today’s world. It’s time to rethink what effective assessment looks like.“
