On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Open Scholarship, and indeed modern scholarship in general, rely on an increasing number of digital infrastructures to operate, with the expectation is that they will persist as the basis for scholarly practice in the longer term. This session will introduce some different scholarly infrastructures and then discuss how they address sustainability issues. Octopus is populated directly by researchers while CORE is populated by harvesting material from other sources. DataCite works behind the scenes to provide persistent identifiers for datasets and other non-traditional outputs, while CrossRef, among other services, performs a similar function for regular publications.
