Your statement is without foundation, demonstrating yet again an amazing ignorance of the facts: Oxford University Press has very specific criteria governing the types of books that it publishes, which necessitate careful monitoring of content and quality. This is particularly true of academic books, with which the Delegates are most closely involved. An author will be invited to submit a proposal for a book, which will be discussed at one of the Delegates' regular meetings. If the proposal is approved, the author will be given a contract and will then work with an editor to produce a final manuscript. As well as the appropriate Delegate, the editor will usually invite other specialists in the field, either from Oxford or from other universities, to read and comment on the text. The editor will discuss their comments with the author and, where appropriate, amendments will be made before the final text is approved for publication. This peer group review is fundamental to OUP's publishing policy and is one of the major factors in the prestige associated with the Oxford name.
