OASIS summaries are one-page summaries of published journal articles on any language-related topic. This includes areas such as language learning, language teaching, multilingualism, language policy, language and social justice, as well as clinical and forensic linguistics and language and the media. 

The summaries provide information about the study’s goals, how it was conducted, and what was found, and are written in non-technical language. Where relevant, they may highlight findings that could be of interest to practitioners or policy-makers. There are also many summaries of research that is purely theoretical /fundamental. 

The summaries are usually written by the author(s) of the original journal article. A number of others are written by others and then the author(s) of the original article edit and approve them. All summaries are of articles that have been published in peer-reviewed journals listed on an internationally recognised citation index, including the Social Science Citation Index, the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, or the Science Citation Index Expanded.
