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
Are most published research findings false? Why should we care? And is there anything we can do about it? This talk will give an overview of some practical solutions such as open science and some good research practices that can help make research findings more robust. There are a number of solutions that can be implemented by individual researchers, and there are wider issues, for example around skills training and incentives, that require cultural change. The activities of the cross-divisional group Reproducible Research Oxford will also be outlined.
