Oxford Research in English

Oxford Research in English (ORE) is an online, MLA-indexed journal run by graduate students at the University of Oxford’s Department of English Language and Literature (ISSN: 2397-2947). We are supported by our parent organization, English Graduates at Oxford (EGO), as well as by the department more broadly speaking.

The ORE’s fundamental purpose is to offer aspiring academics a friendly forum for their first publication. As such we accept the work of PhD and MA students as well as the work of researchers who have recently achieved their doctorate, but who are perhaps lacking in publications. However, we do not accept the work of established academics or recently graduated doctoral candidates who already have an academic post. If for any reason you are unsure of your status, please do send us a query and we will be happy to discuss the matter with you further.

The ORE aims to publish two issues a year: an Autumn issue based on a CFP, and a Spring issue consisting of papers that were presented at the Oxford English Graduate Conference of the previous year. Each issue also includes a special feature–usually an interview of an early career researcher–and a foreword by the Managing Editor or Conference Convenor.
