Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Persistent identifiers are already part of the Scholarly Communications and Research information landscape, helping to identify researchers (ORCID) and research outputs (DOI). These have proved valuable for enabling online referencing and citation, as well as improving and automating some administrative processes (e.g Symplectic). However, ORCIDs and DOIs can only get us so far, and further reductions in administrative overheads through automation require the adoption of additional identifiers.
This presentation will provide up update on work that is happening at a National level in this area.
