OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Behind-The-Scenes
The Behind-the-Scenes Seminar Series is designed to learn about the production process of research papers, offering an opportunity for students and researchers in all fields and at all career stages to engage with the challenges encountered during project development and how they were overcome.
What’s novel? Unlike most research seminars that focus on the research findings, this series will be dedicated to discussing the research process. Not only this, the seminars will also feature a live survey to gauge the audience’s expectations regarding the journey of the paper and compare them with the speaker’s actual experience. You can read more about the seminar format at www.bts-seminar.net/about-5.
