Recently, Oxford University Press began transitioning all OUP Journals to the new Oxford Academic platform; on February 1st that all journal content migration was complete. In addition to journals, Oxford Academic will eventually house the majority of Oxford’s digital book and online product content.
CDL has identified two display issues which do not limit access to the content, but may cause user confusion and is working with Oxford to resolve these issues. First, site branding may cycle through different wording for an individual campus. While navigating or refreshing pages, users may see the site branding text change in the upper right corner. This is due to campuses having multiple administrative accounts on the platform that have differing account names. Secondly, access icons for subscribed content may display incorrectly as a shopping cart though the article is available. Should users encounter a shopping cart icon when browsing subscribed content, clicking “View Article” should still provide access. Note: Only UC- licensed content is still accessible. Shopping cart icons on content that UC does not subscribe to correctly indicates unavailability.
Notwithstanding these issues that are being investigated, the new platform has enhanced features such as device-agnostic design, more browse options and improved results list filters. For more information, visit the Oxford Academic FAQ page.
