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
Researchers are often unsure about open access copyright permissions for their journal article, preprint or thesis. What open access rights do you retain when signing the publisher agreement for a journal article? Are you permitted to self-archive in your institutional repository? Which Creative Commons licence to select for your preprint? Your choices affect what you and others can do with your work. This introduction deciphers the jargon and explains the pitfalls so you can understand your options and make informed decisions.
It covers: * open access copyright and licensing for authors of journal articles, preprints and theses; * initial ownership of copyright; * Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTA) and other journal publishing licences; * Creative Commons (CC) licences; * funder policies on licences and retaining copyright; * posting to repositories, preprint servers and academic platforms; * sharing and re-using work legally; * where to get help.
Intended Audience: Current Oxford postgraduate research students, researchers and academics, research support staff and librarians.
