We are delighted to announce that ‘Digital Technology and the Practices of Humanities Research’ edited by our very own Jennifer Edmond and published by Open Book Publishers is now available in Open Access to read and download for free at openbookpublishers.com/product/1108. This diverse set of essays demonstrate the importance of asking questions about the impact of digital technologies on research practices in the humanities, 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.
