Note publique d'information : How does technology impact research practices in the humanities? How does digitisation
shape scholarly identity? How do we negotiate trust in the digital realm? What is
scholarship, what forms can it take, and how does it acquire authority? This diverse
set of essays demonstrate the importance of asking such questions, bringing together
established and emerging scholars from a variety of disciplines, at a time when data
is increasingly being incorporated as an input and output in humanities sources and
publications. Major themes addressed include the changing nature of scholarly publishing
in a digital age, the different kinds of ‘gate-keepers’ for scholarship, and the difficulties
of effectively assessing the impact of digital resources. The essays bring theoretical
and practical perspectives into conversation, offering readers not only comprehensive
examinations of past and present discourse on digital scholarship, but tightly-focused
case studies. This timely volume illuminates the different forces underlying the shifting
practices in humanities research today, with especial focus on how humanists take
ownership of, and are empowered by, technology in unexpected ways. Digital Technology
and the Practices of Humanities Research is essential reading for scholars, students,
and general readers interested in the changing culture of research practices in the
humanities, and in the future of the digital humanities on the whole.
