OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Academic Publishing Series: “All About Journal Selection and Submission”
Learn how and when to select a journal and how this step can affect your publishing chances and career. Understand the different kinds of journals and what they mean for your research, publishing and your professional development. With more than 200,000 academic journals in the world to select from, our event will provide guidance to help you navigate the wider publishing world.
Understand what open access is and why it may be a good choice for publishing your research, balancing the costs versus the benefits.
What happens once a paper is submitted? How do editorial triage and peer reviewer selection work? What kind of comments are you likely to get back, and how to respond? How long does it all take, and how can you best manage the process?
