Updating Program
New Oxford Bibliographies subject areas will be added at regular intervals, with approximately 10 to 12 disciplines made available each year. For a current list of forthcoming subjects, please visit a complete list of available and forthcoming subject areas.
New Articles
At launch, each subject area will include over 50 articles, with an additional 50-75 articles to be added each year. New article topics are selected to ensure each subject area offers full and balanced coverage as determined by the Editor in Chief and Editorial Board. New topics are introduced based on scholarly feeback, editorial input, and reserach demand.
We also select topics based on requests from users. If you are interested in writing an article for Oxford Bibliographies please visit the For Authors page for more information. To suggest a topic for an article, subject area, or citation please contact an Oxford Bibliographies editor.
Existing Articles
Each article receives a formal review by the Editorial Board once a year to ensure that it remains up-to-date. During this period, the author will be invited to review the article as well. If updates are required, but the author is unable to make them, OUP will commission a second scholar to make the necessary updates, and their name will be included as co-author.
Authors should contact their OUP editor at any time to suggest revisions, additions, and updates. Users are encouraged to contact OUP with their feedback and suggestions for individual articles; all correspondence will be forwarded to the author and Editorial Board for consideration.Please visit our published authors page for more informaiton on how to update your own article.
