Oxford University Press

Oxford University Press (OUP) is a British publishing company connected with the University of Oxford. It is one of the largest and most prestigious university publishers globally, established in 1478. OUP's primary purpose is to serve scholarship by publishing specialized material that commercial firms might find impractical to handle. While often subsidized and having a limited market, these presses can achieve high standards of production. Some, like Oxford University Press, have grown into large, profitable organizations with international reach and a broad range of publications.12
