of Oxford, we share a firm belief in the transformative, illuminating power of education and research in tackling the greatest mysteries and challenges of our time. This year has been one of unexpected turbulence, from war to natural disaster to continued political change. We are not immune to the impacts of this—which have been felt both personally and professionally by our students and colleagues—but whatever happens in the world around us, our commitment to our mission of excellence in research, scholarship, and education is unwavering.</h3> <p style="text-align: left;"><span data-contrast="auto">Nowhere is this more evident than in the work of Oxford University Press (OUP). Over the last year, I have settled into a regular cadence of meetings of the Delegates of the Press and, I have to say, it’s an appointment I look forward to as yet another way to see a unique strand of what Oxford does. The special nature of OUP’s work came to life for me as I watched King Charles III take the oath during his coronation ceremony with his hand placed on the beautiful Coronation Bible, commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury and created by OUP. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559739":160,"335559740":259}"> </span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class='col image' data-aos='fade-up'> <img src='https://corp.oup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Portraits-for-AR-01.png' alt=''> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block_d0689d7eb3866c6fe1e14047260abe36" class="columned-text alignfull block block-background-colour dark-blue text-white merge-below " style=""> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="inner"> <div class="text-block centre"> </div> <div class="columns top"> <div class="col" data-aos='fade-up'> <img decoding="async" class='icon' src="" alt=""> <h3>Serving the research community </h3> <div class="text"> <p><span data-contrast="auto">As both a publisher in its own right and a valued department of our University, OUP holds a vital position in being part of the community it serves.

This included £11m of sales which were supplied early to customers due to the transfer to a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Excluding turnover from these sales, Group turnover was £823m.</h3> <p>The year was one of continued progress but it also brought a number of challenges. Inflationary pressures limited spending in some of our core markets and increased our own costs, and political change and geopolitical upheaval continued to disrupt some of our business. Despite the somewhat challenging external environment, colleagues across OUP worked hard to further the fulfilment of our mission, including launching a range of new digital products and services and achieving significant operational and system improvements.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class='col image' data-aos='fade-up'> <img src='https://corp.oup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Portraits-for-AR-02.png' alt=''> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block_fc30f8d0cee2f55ad5213d65a0220a31" class="columned-text alignfull block block-background-colour dark-blue text-white merge-above merge-below " style=""> <div class="wrapper"> <div class="inner"> <div class="text-block centre"> </div> <div class="columns top"> <div class="col" data-aos='fade-up'> <img decoding="async" class='icon' src="" alt=""> <h3></h3> <div class="text"> <p style="font-weight: 400;">A common development for each of our publishing divisions, and for our organization as a whole, was the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, particularly generative AI. Throughout our history we have embraced new opportunities offered by technological changes and this is another exciting evolution, but one to be approached with careful regard to the implications for research and education.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Our report on AI in education surveyed teachers globally for their perspectives. It found that respondents recognized the huge potential for AI to transform education, but that education should drive technology—not the other way around.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This is familiar ground for OUP, as the transition to digital products and services remains a critical area of focus for us. In our Academic division, revenue from digital now makes up 70 per cent of turnover and this year we made a series of improvements to our digital experience. These included a refreshed website for the <em>Oxford English Dictionary (OED)</em> and the addition of 7,500 books to the <em>Oxford Scholarship Online</em> archive on the Oxford Academic platform.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In our English Language Teaching (ELT) division, we also continued the expansion of our digital learning support with a 300 per cent year-on-year increase in sessions recorded on <em>Oxford English Hub</em>, our online platform for teaching and learning English. Alongside this, we introduced <em>Digital Flow</em>, a new way of teaching with fully digital OUP materials, designed for screens and supporting lessons taught in person, remotely, or hybrid.</p> <p>In our Education division, our core digital platforms were used by 2.5 million learners and we expanded our <em>Oxford Smart </em>Curriculum Service to include more core subjects. In Kenya, we launched EduZone, a pioneering all-in-one learning hub, while in Mainland China we developed a series called <em>Talk About China with Oxford</em>, delivered via a digital learning platform.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"> </div> </div> <div class="col" data-aos='fade-up'> <img decoding="async" class='icon' src="" alt=""> <h3></h3> <div class="text"> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Curriculum reform was an opportunity for our Education and ELT divisions. In markets such as Spain and Pakistan, our teams were well placed to respond to major reforms, supporting teachers and learners in times of change. In higher education, we saw a return to growth after difficult trading conditions last year, with strong sales for e-books.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Across OUP, we won 83 prizes during 2023/24 and were shortlisted for a further 17. Prizes included the Bancroft Prize for<em> Fire and Rain: Nixon, Kissinger, and the Wars in Southeast Asia</em> by Carolyn Woods Eisenberg and the Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize for <em>Of Age: Boy Soldiers and Military Power in the Civil War Era </em>by Frances M. Clarke and Rebecca Jo Plant<em>.</em> The Essential Letters and Sounds phonics programme, with digital and print resources published by OUP, was shortlisted for a BETT (British Educational Training and Technology) Award and has been adapted for expansion into markets outside the UK.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Our surplus from trading before interest, funded projects, minority interests, and taxation (reported under the FRS 102 accounting standard) was £113 million, an increase of 12 per cent on the previous year. Our transfer to the rest of the University was £44.3m. These funds will support a range of research, scholarship, and educational activities such as the Clarendon Fund and the John Fell Fund.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">I would like to thank my colleagues for their dedication and hard work in support of our success in the year. Looking ahead, we expect further change given the rate of technological advancement and social and political developments. We continue to navigate these shifts, exploring new opportunities like AI technology, but remaining committed to the needs of teachers, learners, and researchers across the world. Whatever the coming year brings, I know that the shared focus of colleagues across OUP to deliver excellence in research, scholarship, and education through our publishing will carry us forward.</p>

A further 17,000 senses were edited or drafted in 2023/24 alone.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">To increase the availability and discoverability of our high quality research publishing, we added 7,500 books, dating from 1990 to 2009, to the <em>Oxford Scholarship Online</em> archive on the Oxford Academic platform, expanding the amount of available content by 30 per cent.

Our <em>Trove</em> products, which provide online materials for students, expanded this year thanks to the launch of <em>Business Trove </em>and <em>Science Trove, </em>collectively making 280 undergraduate textbooks available online.

Colleagues from OUP travelled to Lambeth Palace in London to present copies of the Bible to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.

We also began to explore opportunities to support learners in new areas such as home learning and guided remote teaching.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In assessment, our new <em>Oxford Test of English (OTE) Advanced </em>product for B2-C1 level certification was prepared for launch. It prepares students for success at university or in their careers by assessing learning in real-life contexts driven by today’s language needs, such as mediation, debating, and presentations.

The podcast was well received, with almost all listeners subscribing to future episodes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"> </div> <div class="col"> <p>As in previous years, we published several dedicated position papers on areas of interest for the ELT community, providing expert advice to English language teachers. Topics this year included multimodality, focusing on the expansion of learners’ communications skills by teaching them to express themselves through images, videos, and other multimedia, and self-regulated learning, exploring how to encourage students to take control of their own learning.

We also extended our support for readers in South Africa, adding 120 titles in four local African languages.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In Mainland China, we celebrated 45 years of publishing with our partner, The Commercial Press<em>—</em>a collaboration that has helped generations of Chinese students to learn English through products such as the <em>Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary</em> and our <em>Tree Tops</em> primary reading resources.
