Journals
Our fellow members receive electronic access to one of our three journal series, via MyRSS.
Keep up-to-date
Members can keep up-to-date with journal content by opting to receive email alerts from Oxford University Press (OUP).
OUP offers a variety of options to tailor the alerts to better meet your needs:
- New issue alerts – receive an email when a new issue of a particular journal publishes, listing all the articles in that issue
- Advance article alert – receive an email when articles publish online ahead of print (participating journals only)
- Saved search alerts - receive an email when new content is published that matches search criteria (e.g. select a subject from the taxonomy to receive alerts whenever new relevant content publishes)
- Article activity alert – receive an email showing comments added, citation count changes, corrections, and retractions.
You’ll first need to create an account on Oxford Academic, or sign in if you have an account already. Visit Oxford Academic to find all the instructions for this and for signing up for the email alerts.
You can also follow Series A on Twitter for updates.
