Let’s get together and brainstorm new possibilities for publishing humanities scholarship. If we’re not satisfied with digital versions of journal articles and monographs, what alternatives can we propose? Are there any models that look promising or interesting experiments (like Scalar) in the works? Let’s dream up what would be exciting and useful without getting bogged down in a conversation about tenure and promotion. If scholarly communication is the goal — rather than checking boxes — what do we want to do?
This conversation could focus on the specific challenges of digital humanities scholarship, or approach humanities scholarship more broadly. But let’s focus on the production and dissemination of scholarship, not on getting credit.
This sounds good to me, particularly in light of what Chad Black has asked about long-form publishing: parezcoydigo.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/a-long-form-historical-narrative-framework/
I’m also wondering how we can make better use of existing platforms by making them work better together to help build public digital scholarship.
