In this article, we have investigated thermal-diffusion and diffusion-thermo effects on unsteady flow of electrically conducting Eyring-Powell fluid over an oscillatory stretching sheet by using convective boundary conditions. A set of appropriate variables are used to reduce number of independent variables in governing equations. Series solution is computed using homotopy analysis method. The effects of various parameters of interest on the velocity filed, temperature profile, concentration profile, skin friction, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are illustrated graphically and discussed in detail.
