Dear digital classicists,
The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is
calling for reviews for a special issue of the journal RIDE,
dedicated to Tools and Environments for Digital Scholarly Editing
(DSE):
https://www.i-d-e.de/cfr-tools/
To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a
structure for the evaluation, we provide Criteria for Reviewing
Digital Tools and Environments for DSE that are supposed to be
applicable to various types of resources. The guidelines (Version
1.0) can be found here:
https://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-tools-version-1/
Reviews will be accepted until the 31st of May 2019.
We kindly ask you to email us before start reviewing a tool at
ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de with a suggestion of which resource you
would like to review and with a short explanation of your
affiliation and area of expertise. This is important in order to
avoid multiple reviews of the same tool.
Background
In the introduction to his book Software takes command (Bloomsbury
Publishing, 2013) Lev Manovich states that "software has become
our interface to the world, to others, to our memory and our
imagination". Is the same happening in the world of digital
scholarly editing? Certainly we cannot ignore their fundamental
role in our daily scholarly practices and in the interactions with
our objects of study. Insofar as tools shape scholarly editions,
they also shape scholarly editing.
A new RIDE issue is devoted to tools for digital scholarly
editing. The aim of this issue is to:
The questionnaire mentioned in the submission checklist has been designed for scholarly digital editions so far. We will keep you informed about how to proceed with the questionnaire for this special issue.
All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. We believe that this is important because the evaluation of digital scholarly resources usually requires a double expertise in digital methods as well as in individual disciplines. This is also to increase the credit for reviews.On behalf of the editors,
Franz
