Please note that the button above will take you to an area of this webpage which explains how to set up, cancel or amend subscriptions by email. The previous webform is no longer in operation.

Publication arrangements

The Gazette is produced by the Internal Communications Team, Public Affairs Directorate. For details of the subscription options open to you, please see the relevant section below.

Subscription options

Free subscriptions

The following publications are freely available online:

  • Gazette (the University of Oxford's journal of record)
  • OUP's Annual Report (the report of the Delegates of the University Press, published by OUP in July each year)

Anyone, whether a current member of the University or not, may read them online or set up a free email subscription to be notified when new issues are published. However, the Gazette is only available in a redacted format for non-University members (SSO is required to read the full edition). The omitted content relates solely to student business: degrees and prizes awarded and arrangements for viva voce examinations.

To set up, amend or cancel your subscription, please see 'Subscribing to email mailing lists' below.

Neither the Gazette nor OUP's Annual Report are available in print any longer, although copies of the Gazette are sent weekly to libraries and archives which request them as well as to legal deposit libraries in both digital and print format.

Library staff: to request a print copy of the Gazette for your library, or to cancel an existing order, please email gazette@admin.ox.ac.uk.

Paid subscriptions

Non-University members who want to read the full, non-redacted edition of the Gazette may purchase a digital subscription for PDF copies to be delivered by email each week.

To purchase such a subscription, please see 'Paid digital subscriptions' below.

Email notifications of new issues of the Gazette

Subscribing to email mailing lists

We maintain mailing lists to alert subscribers to new issues of the Gazette. Anyone is welcome to subscribe to these mailing lists, but please note that sections of the Gazette which relate to current students can only be viewed by current members of the University for data protection reasons. 

Please note that the webform, which allowed subscribers to change their options, is no longer in use. This is because the option of receiving print editions is no longer offered, and so the multi-option database is not required.

Gazette précis

We now provide a précis of Gazette content for all readers, which is intended to save you the trouble of clicking through to the PDF in the majority of circumstances. The précis is optimised for reading on smaller screens, as many of our readers now use their phones to read the Gazette. 

Any email subscribers will automatically receive a link to the weekly précis, and it is available on the Current issue and This year's issues pages of this website.
