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.
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.
