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
Part of the Oxford Forum of Open Scholarship 2025.
Despite nearly every academic needing to engage with peer review in some capacity, either through review of their own or others work, many are thrust into this system with little training or guidance on what is expected from the process. This session will aim to provide attendees with an introduction to peer review: why it exists, how it works in practice, a critical look at what it does (and does not) accomplish, and some advice on conducting and responding to reviews as part of your academic routine. Worked examples and case studies will lean toward the biomedical sciences but the session will aim to provide information relevant to the peer review process across disciplines.
