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.
Jisc and UK institutions are in negotiation with Springer Nature to reach a sustainable read and publish agreement for the Springer, Nature, Nature Research journals and Palgrave journals.
Please join Amy Warner May, Associate Director of Scholarly Resources and Professor Patrick Grant, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, for an online meeting to discuss the future of this important publishing deal. The journals are heavily read in Oxford, and the new deal will be critical to making our research as accessible as possible across Springer Nature journals.
This event will be an opportunity both to discuss and find out more about the status of the negotiations and the outcome scenarios being explored by the sector. Background information on the negotiations can be found here: openaccess.ox.ac.uk/springer-nature-oxford
