OxIS is the longest-running academic survey of Internet use in Britain, describing how Internet use has evolved from 2003 to the present day. Run by the Oxford Internet Institute, a Social Sciences department at the University of Oxford, this survey provides unrivalled data, rigorous analysis and policy-relevant insights into key aspects of life online.
OxIS is a multi-stage national probability sample of 2000 people in Britain, enabling us to project estimates to the nation as a whole. Undertaken every two years since 2003, it surveys users, non-users, and ex-users, covering Internet and ICT access and use, attitudes to technology, and supporting demographic and geographic information.
