OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
