Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Rights retention is a legal mechanism that allows researchers to make author accepted manuscripts of journal articles and conference proceedings available open access at the point of publication when other routes to open access are not available. Rights retention is used by increasing numbers of UK universities
This 30-minute briefing for humanities and social sciences researchers will report on the University of Oxford’s planned implementation of an institutional rights retention policy. It will also provide an opportunity for discussion of the benefits and implications for humanities researchers.
Colleagues from the Bodleian Libraries will cover the following topics:
- An overview of open access publishing routes and the value of ‘green’ open access – The development of rights retention at Oxford and changes to Statute (to be approved by Congregation 11 June 2024) – How rights retention will work in practice and its relationship to the REF – Potential future developments in green open access for the humanities
