Oxford Research Encyclopedias: Psychology

A Community of Scholars

Editor in Chief: Oliver Braddick

Description

The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology is part of a major initiative from Oxford University Press to transform its approach to reference publishing in order to better serve the changing needs of university-level digital research.

Through the Oxford Research Encyclopedia (ORE) program, Oxford is building dynamic online encyclopedias in 20+ disciplines that will be continuously updated by the world's leading scholars, scientists, and researchers. With expert editors and peer-review, the ORE project will combine the discoverability of digital with the standards of academic publishing.

The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology is overseen by Oliver Braddick, Emeritus Professor of Psychology at the University of Oxford, and an editorial board of subject experts, ensuring a comprehensive, encyclopedic map of the field.

Updated monthly, the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology will grow with the field over time. Multi-media features embedded in articles, along with cross-referenced links to related content will further expand the scope of the ORE. With in-depth peer-reviewed articles and broad coverage of the field the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology will become an invaluable resource.

The ORE of Psychology is currently freely available as scholarly articles are gradually added to the site.

Editorial Board

Oliver Braddick is Emeritus Professor and Fellow of Magdalen College in the University of Oxford. His position as chair of two of the UK's leading psychology departments, in University College London and Oxford, has given him the range of knowledge in the subject that fits him to lead this cross-disciplinary project.

Oliver Braddick received his BA and PhD from the University of Cambridge. He did postdoctoral work in Brown University and holds a visiting appointment at the University of California, San Diego. His research has been in the field of visual perception and its brain mechanisms, notably in visual motion processing, and in the development of visual, visuomotor, and visuocognitive systems in infants and young children. In 1976, he established with Janette Atkinson the Visual Development unit in Cambridge (later in Oxford and UCL), which has carried out pioneering work on the early development of visual cortical mechanisms, on vision screening and binocular vision, and applied these methods to the assessment of infants at risk of perinatal brain injury. He is the author of over 200 scientific papers in these areas, and has been on the Editorial Boards of the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, Vision Research, Perception, and Current Biology.

He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences in 2001, of the Academia Europaea in 2008, and of the British Academy in 2012.
