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.
Scholarly authors have typically handed over the rights in their works to publishers. Doing so puts control of those works in the hands of publishers. Many publishers then limit the uses that authors are able to make of their own work, resulting in barriers to the widest possible dissemination of the information and knowledge they contain. To counteract these barriers and control of content, cOAlition S research funders have developed a Rights Retention Strategy which has a two-fold effect: 1) for funded research findings to be made freely and widely available, and 2) to enable researchers to disseminate and re-use their own content.
Presenters from cOAlition S will address the following:
Who and what are cOAlition S and Plan S?
Why has Plan S adopted its Rights Retention Strategy (RRS) and what is it?
How have journal publishers responded to the RRS?
Aren’t rights retention matters too difficult and time consuming for academic authors?
