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.
Scientific publishing aims to disseminate knowledge within and between scientific communities, with the most influential research impacting beyond field-specific experts. To avoid misinformation, there is a responsibility to balance rapid access to cutting-edge findings with ensuring that published data are robust, reproducible and substantiate the conclusions that are made. In my talk, I will outline the process a manuscript undergoes at Science, from submission to publication, the role of the professional editor and what editors look for when considering papers. Moreover, I will highlight initiatives at the journal that are aimed towards maintaining integrity and precision whilst building the scientific record.
