Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.

Reimagining scholarly publishing to promote credible and trustworthy research
The purpose of scholarly publishing is to facilitate the communication and interrogation of evidence and claims to advance knowledge production. The business of scholarly publishing interferes with this purpose. Research is inhibited by a scholarly publishing system that [1] is slow, incomplete, opaque, and static, [2] treats the paper as the only meaningful scholarly output, [3] offers dysfunctional, simplistic rewards based on publication and journal status, and [4] is calcified in legacy, commercial business models and infrastructure. The Lifecycle Journal is an alternative approach to scholarly publishing intended to address these weaknesses and align the practice of scholarly publishing with its purpose.
