On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Have you got questions about how to use the Covidence Data Extraction 1 tool for your project or review? Then please join us for our upcoming training session for University of Oxford users on Thursday 4th December 2025 at 2 pm (the webinar usually takes around 60 minutes).
This training is a deep dive into Covidence’s Extraction 1 tool. It is aimed at researchers who are familiar with the platform and are working on intervention reviews, i.e. reviews that study the effect of drugs, therapies, vaccines, medical devices, procedures, or public health policies.
We will walk you through the steps of:
-Creating, modifying, and publishing data extraction templates in Extraction 1
-Managing reviewers
-Extracting data from studies
-Producing consensus data so that the final data are ready for export
-Exporting data from Covidence
Covidence is a web-based software platform that streamlines the production of systematic reviews
Covidence is free for staff, researchers and students at the University of Oxford.
