Visibility of Research: What can DH do to help?
by Ernesto Priego 28 Mar '14

28 Mar '14

Hello everyone, This Saturday I am flying to Kenya to participate in the Workshop on the Discoverability of African Scholarship Online organised by the OpenUCT Initiative and Carnegie Corporation (some info at http://openuct.uct.ac.za/events/workshop-discoverability-african-scholarshi…). As the workshop's documentation states it, The requirement by funders and research agencies that open access outputs > not only be online, but also that content be curated and archived in > repositories and databases with associated metadata in line with > international best practice, additionally means that the content generated > by the North will generally be shared in a fashion that facilitates optimal > findability and interoperability. > > Visibility and interoperability with other online platforms and databases > is crucial not only in terms of boosting access to knowledge, but also in > facilitating new forms of digital and inter-disciplinary research that are > made possible through text mining and federated search functionality. The > growing divide in content visibility and curation is therefore also highly > undesirable in that it threatens to decrease the scope of the global > knowledge corpus by virtue of the fact that knowledge from certain parts of > the world will be less likely to have been curated and shared in line with > the international protocols that facilitate content exchange and digital > scholarship. > [...] There is evidence that individual African scholars have taken the > initiative of establishing their own websites and promoting academic output > online through personal or disciplinary-oriented channels. Undertaking > research, digitising the outputs (or even having them 'born digital' in > original electronic form) and putting these online is however not > sufficient.

These > activities require specific competencies and activities which have only > come into being in recent years; while rapidly emerging globally, they are > generally in short supply or still largely unknown amongst many African > academics, and to some extent within institutions as a whole. > I am particularly keen in having a conversation about the importance of networks when it comes to creating a critical mass if not a culture of research sharing. The evolution of free/affordable technologies that enhance access, dissemination, archiving/harvesting, citation and measurement of research has been fast in many developed economies, but their adoption in other countries and cultures is not without challenges (and opportunities) of all kinds. The burden of the individual researcher to enhance the visibility of his/her individual research can be a full time occupation for which a particularly privileged setting/working/social conditions and technical expertise is often needed. I am sharing with you these thoughts because I am interested in what role the digital humanities can play in this context. Are DH research projects/outputs merely a subgroup of all research subject to online discoverability, or are the digital humanities a potentially key player in the development of strategies to make research visible and accessible online? Is the development of technologies and strategies to enhance the discoverability, accessibility, sustainability, preservation etc. of [particularly social sciences, arts and humanities] research? I believe that the "global" digital humanities face some of the same challenges as African reseachers in terms of getting the work to be seen, cited, recognised, and in terms of being able to create international networks, access funding and other research development opportunities, etc. Any thoughts from you will be incredibly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Call For Presentations: Kickstarting the GO::DH Minimal Computing Working Group @ DH2014
by John Simpson 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

***-_-_-_-_-_-*** Please share this widely as we would like as global a representation as possible ***-_-_-_-_-_-*** The GlobalOutlook::DigitalHumanities (GO::DH) Minimal Computing Working Group is looking to kickstart itself with a workshop at this year’s DH conference in Lausanne, Switzerland. We are looking to collect upwards of thirty presenters from the global DH community to share their current experiences with minimal computing in a lightning talk format. This series of showcase talks will be followed by a focused collection of ideas directed at how the working group should proceed and then some initial decision making about which of these ideas to pursue and who should lead them. THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO BE INCLUDED EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT ATTENDING The GO::DH Minimal Computer Working Group uses “minimal computing” to simultaneously capture the maintenance, refurbishing, and use of machines to do DH work out of necessity along with the use of new streamlined computing hardware like the Raspberry Pi or the Arduino micro controller to do DH work by choice. This dichotomy of choice vs. necessity focuses the group on computing that is decidedly not high-performance and importantly not first-world desktop computing. By operating at this intersection between choice and necessity minimal computing forces important concepts and practices within the DH community to the fore. In this way minimal computing is also an intellectual concept, akin to environmentalism, asking for balance between gains and costs in related areas that include social justice issues and de-manufacturing and reuse, not to mention re-thinking high-income assumptions about “e-waste” and what people do with it. Visit http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/working-groups/minimal-computing/kickstart-w… for the full call and find out how you can get involved. ***-_-_-_-_-_-*** Please share this widely as we would like as global a representation as possible ***-_-_-_-_-_-*** -John John Simpson Postdoctoral Fellow INKE and Text Mining & Visualization for Literary History University of Alberta

translation exercise during DayofDH
by Élika Ortega 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear all, As many of you know, DayofDH 2014 will take place on April 8. At RedDH we came up with the idea of doing a collective translation exercise of our work in Spanish into any other language we can: a sort of translate-a-thon on that day. The exercise has also been proposed to HDH (Spain) and I thought I'd bring it here too as it might be of interest to many here. Simply put, the idea is to take a short, manageable piece of writing (article, project description, blog post, etc.), translate it into a language we or our collaborators know, and publish it in our DayofDH blogs using a common tag (TBD). The objective is to increase the spread of our work in other linguistic and geographic areas. Therefore, even though many times it functions as a lingua franca, it doesn't have to be translations just into English. And I actually imagine that slightly more 'distant' ones (German-into-Spanish, Japanese-into-French, etc.) if we manage to do them, could lead to very interesting discoveries. The impact of the exercise will depend largely on how many of us take part in it, so I'm hoping to interest as many of you as possible. Later this week, I will be publishing a post on my DayofDH blog outlining/launching the idea as it originated in the context of RedHD. Before I do that, however, I'd love to hear what you think. All the best!

Tenure Track Position, Postcolonial or Modernism. Digital Humanities very welcome. April 15 Deadline.
by Daniel O'Donnell 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Hi all, The English department in the University of Lethbridge has just released an ad for a Tenure Track job in Postcolonial or Modernism. It is so new that the official ad is not yet up on the Uleth Website. Here's a link to a posting on my blog with the details: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/Blog/university-of-lethbridge-tenur…. I've also reproduced the text below. The position is either Postcolonial or Modernism. We are at the beginning of a rebuilding phase after a series of retirements and need both. Although the ad does not specifically require expertise in Digital Humanities, we are certainly very interested in hearing from people in DH. DH is one of two strategic priorities in the Faculty of Arts and Science and is well supported throughout the University. There are several new initiatives that are going ahead that will be of interest to Digital Humanists, including, the development of new Centres for Studies in the Digital Age and 3D Visualisation. Lethbridge is also home to the Lethbridge Journal Incubator, Global Outlook::Digital Humanities, and, though less relevant in this case, Digital Medievalist. Perhaps most importantly, the Digital Humanities is a major part of the new $3 million THINC project, a project that involves the development of a series of labs focussed on data visualisation, digital fabrication, and 3D visualisation and capture that has been proposed for the new Science facility. If you have any questions about applying for this position, please feel free to contact the chair, Adam Carter (a.carter(a)uleth.ca) or me (daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca). The deadline for applications is April 15, 2014. ---------------------------------------------------------- The Department of English at the University of Lethbridge invites applications for a probationary (tenure-track) position at the Assistant Professor rank to begin 1 July 2014, subject to budgetary approval. The position is in the area of Twentieth-Century Literature with specialization in either Post-Colonial Literature or Modernism. Applicants should have a Ph.D. at or near completion and teaching experience at the university level. The University aspires to hire individuals who have demonstrated considerable potential for excellence in teaching, research and scholarship.New faculty members are eligible to apply for university funding in support of research and scholarly activities. The position is open to all qualified applicants, although preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. The University is an inclusive and equitable campus encouraging applications from qualified women and men including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities and Aboriginal persons. The Department of English is a dynamic unit committed to excellence in research and teaching with faculty members who represent a wide range of disciplinary interests. Members of the department are involved in collaborative and interdisciplinary research initiatives within the University of Lethbridge and beyond. The university houses the Institute for Child and Youth Studies (I-CYS), the Centre for Oral History and Tradition (COHT), and a new centre in Digital Humanities is currently under development. The University of Lethbridge is the home of Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (globaloutlookdh.org) and the editorial offices of the scholarly journal /Digital Studies/Le champ numérique/. Students have the opportunity to have their writing published in the university’s /Whetstone/magazine and to participate in two annual student writing competitions. The department is dedicated to ensuring the continued quality of its strong undergraduate program and its emerging graduate program. Located in southern Alberta, near the Rocky Mountains, Lethbridge offers a sunny, dry climate that is agreeably mild for the prairies, excellent cultural and recreational amenities and attractive economic conditions. Founded in 1967, the University has an enrollment of over 8,000 students from around the world. Our student body has grown by 50 percent in the last 10 years, phenomenal growth among institutions in Canada. Despite this growth, we have remained true to who we are - student-focused, research-intensive, and grounded in liberal education. For more information about the University, please visit our web site at www.uleth.ca <http://www.uleth.ca>. Applications should include a curriculum vitae, transcripts, outlines of courses previously taught, teaching evaluations, publication reprints or preprints, a statement of teaching philosophy and research interests, and three letters of reference. Send this material and arrange for letters to be mailed directly to: Dr. Adam Carter, Chair Department of English The University of Lethbridge 4401 University Drive Lethbridge, Alberta, T1K 3M4 Canada Telephone: (403) 380-1894 Fax: (403) 382-7191 Email: bev.garnett(a)uleth.ca <mailto:bev.garnett@uleth.ca> Consideration of completed applications will begin by April 15, 2014, and will continue until the position is filled. -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Fwd: AIUCD (Associazione di Informatica Umanistica e Cultura Digitale) associate organisation of EADH
by Domenico Fiormonte 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Dear Arianna, I may be wrong, but this announcement sounds at least premature. Before becoming "official", according to the AIUCD by-laws, the agreement should be approved by the AIUCD associates general meeting. This vote would be expressed upon discussing all the details of the agreement -- of which we Italian associates still know very little. For a number of reasons, exposed publicly and privately, I was very skeptical about AIUCD becoming a member of EADH. Nonetheless, during the AIUCD general meeting in December, as a simple associate I voted in favour of continuing the negotatiations with EADH. At that time no draft agreement, either official or unofficial, was presented to the associates for an open discussion. The president of the association, Dino Buzzetti, has recently wrote on the AIUCD list that the agreement would have been circulated and presented to the next general meeting for approval: "(...) non appena stipulato, il testo dell'accordo verra' reso noto, in modo da poter essere successivamente sottoposto alla ratifica dell'Assemblea." It's not clear to me, at this point, if the general meeting [assembly] would be called just to ratify a "fait accompli", or if the associates would be actively entitled to discuss the details, propose modifications, corrections, etc. Although I have resigned from the AIUCD for personal and political reasons, and will neither be voting nor contributing to the discussion, I think it would be important for the Italian members of AIUCD to have an opportunity for an open and democratic debate. This would be vital for a newly founded association like AIUCD, but it would be also healthy for EADH.

But the altmetrics community needs to actively engage with scholars from developing regions to ensure the new metrics do not continue to cater to well-known and well-established networks./ // /http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2014/03/10/altmetrics-for-developing-regions/ / // *Ina Smith* Open Scholarship Manager | Stellenbosch University | Private Bag X5036, 7599 | South Africa Open Access | *SUNScholar <http://scholar.sun.ac.za/>*| *SUNJournals <http://library.sun.ac.za/English/services/az/oa/Pages/sunjournals.aspx>*| *SUNConferences <http://library.sun.ac.za/Afrikaans/services/az/oa/Pages/sunconferences.aspx>*| E-mail: *ismith(a)sun.ac.za <mailto:ismith@sun.ac.za>***|** Tel: +27 21 808 9139 | *Skype: smith.ina***| Office hours: Mo-Fr: 08h00-16h30 Ooptoegang Wetenskaplike Kommunikasie Bestuurder | Universiteit Stellenbosch | Privaatsak X5036, 7599 | Suid-Afrika Oop Toegang | *SUNScholar <http://scholar.sun.ac.za/>* | *SUNJournals <http://library.sun.ac.za/English/services/az/oa/Pages/sunjournals.aspx>*| *SUNConferences <http://library.sun.ac.za/Afrikaans/services/az/oa/Pages/sunconferences.aspx> | *E-pos: *ismith(a)sun.ac.za <mailto:ismith@sun.ac.za>***| Tel: +27 21 808 9139 | *Skype: smith.ina**| *Kantoorure: Ma-Vr: 08h00-16h30 */Description: cid:image004.jpg@01C9FFC1.4A20BBC0/* -- Dr Shamprasad M.
