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
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
