Profile Help
Your alerting profile puts you in control of the email you get from
us, allowing you to make sure that you get only content that meets your needs,
and giving you control of frequency and format.
Our content is sometimes misidentified as spam, because (for example) we write
about corruption in Nigeria. If you or your organisation are using
spam-filtering software, please ensure that our content gets through to you
by adding analysis@oxford-analytica.com to your address book, or configuring the rules to permit
anything from @oxford-analytica.com.
There are essentially three types of alerts you can receive:
- Daily Brief Summaries
-
Delivered daily, one email for each product you choose.
Also known as executive summaries, these contain a series of small paragraphs
on issues of the day from the product you select. These
are selected, written and ranked by our in-house analysts for the relevant product, and
include links to all the articles of the day running in that product.
Individual products vary as to how many they contain, but apart from the
Comprehensive Edition it is usually less then ten paragraphs per day.
The Comprehensive Edition contains summaries of all the Daily Brief content for the day - if you just want one daily email, we recommend this.
They are available in two formats:
- judgement - includes only our analytical judgement with little or no background
- full text - includes our analytical judgement and full background.
- Your Daily Brief Alerts
-
Daily or weekly.
These are alerts customised to your interest by country, topic, free text or any combination.
For basic personalisation, you choose in our Alerts Wizard those countries and topics those most of interest to you.
For fully flexible customised alerting, you can save any search you make - be it a title search for "Putin", or articles on Russia AND the United States - as an email alert.
Whenever an article matches one of your Saved Searches, it will be included in Your Daily Brief alerts. The weekly option is only available in headline format.
- Extra Article Alerts
-
Once daily.
If you select one of these options, you will receive emails in your
selected format detailing all the full-length articles we write in a day - usually up
to eight.
Email Formats:
-
Headlines
-
Summaries - judgements taken from executive summaries or short summaries of full length
articles
-
Full text - full text of everything - not available with weekly sendings.
Additionally you may choose between HTML format - preferred, since it is
prettier, and a text format of email, which may suit some individuals receiving
email to mobile devices (such as palmtops, Blackberrys or phones), or those
using certain kinds of corporate or browser-based email clients.
