What is the Oxford Publication Fellowship?

Research mentorship with a path to publication

The Oxford Publication Fellowship is our most intensive 1:1 programme. Like the Oxford Scholar Programme, you are matched with a dedicated Oxbridge, top UK university, or Ivy League PhD researcher and produce original academic research entirely tailored to your interests.

The Fellowship goes further: additional mentor meetings, more detailed feedback cycles, and structured support to identify appropriate journals, prepare your submission, and navigate the peer-review process.
