  This review article aims at illustrating the recent progresses in the
electrical control of magnetism in oxides with profound physics and enormous
potential applications. In the first part, we provide a comprehensive summary
of the electrical control of magnetism in the classic multiferroic
heterostructures and clarify their various mechanisms lying behind. The second
part focuses on the novel route of electric double layer gating for driving a
significantly electronic phase transition in magnetic oxides by a small
voltage. The electric field applied on the ordinary dielectric oxide in the
third part is used to control the magnetic phenomenon originated from the
charge transfer and orbital reconstruction at the interface between dissimilar
correlated oxides. At last, we analyze the challenges in electrical control of
magnetism in oxides, both on mechanism and practical application, which would
inspire more in-depth researches and advance the development in this field.
