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
The term ‘open access’ has been around for decades… you may have also heard of open science, open research, or open scholarship. What do they all mean, and how are they relevant to your research practices? This talk will be theoretical: we’ll go through the different types of scholarly publishing models and their history, as well as the role preprints play in all of this – and how Francis Crick nearly disrupted an early open peer review experiment. It will also be practical: we’ll discuss how and why to make your research outputs open, as well as the specialist support that the Bodleian Libraries can provide.
