Publication Scheme
Guide to the information available
The University's publication scheme follows the standard format required by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) from January 2009. It sets out what information the University publishes or intends to publish, how the information can be accessed and whether or not a charge will be made for it. We have tried to make as much information as possible available on the University’s website. Many of the documents are in Word or PDF format and can be downloaded free of charge from our website. To read PDF documents you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free and available from Adobe. The University Gazette is the authorised journal of record of the University of Oxford. A helpful summary of the items published in the Gazette can be found here.
Any queries on the information included within the scheme and requests for information which is not available on the University’s website should be addressed to the Information Officer at the following address:
