Multilingual dissemination of research
by Ernesto Priego 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

Dear all, We are continuing our efforts to disseminate the work we do not only open access with Creative Commons licenses but also in other languages than English. *P**arables of Care. Creative Responses to Dementia Care, As Told by Carers* is a research-based comic book originally published in English in October 2017. In January 2019 we released a German version <https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/2019/01/24/parabeln-der-flege-parab…>, *Parabeln der Pflege. Kreative Reaktionen in der Demenzpflege, von Pflegenden erzählt, *translated by Dr Andrea Hacker. We are now pleased to announce that the Spanish version of *Parables of Care* is now available as an open access PDF via City Research Online: Priego, E., Grennan, S., Sperandio, C. and Wilkins, P. (2019). *Relatos de cuidado. Respuestas creativas al cuidado de la demencia. *London: City, University of London. ISBN 978-1-5272-4314-9. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/22595/. A printed edition will be freely available, distributed internationally to a network of senior health care institutions and libraries and will be officially launched in Mexico at CELEX UAM <http://lenguas.azc.uam.mx/> Azcapotzalco, México on 6th September 2019. The announcement on our blog for this release is at https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/2019/07/31/relatos-de-cuidado-respu… <https://blogs.city.ac.uk/parablesofcare/2019/07/31/relatos-de-cuidado-respu…> Downloading the file and sharing the link goes a long way to gradually increase the visibility of research outputs in other languages. Your support will be kindly appreciated- if you have ever witnessed the effects of dementia you will know how important is to share information about it.

GO::DH and ADHO membership
by Quinn Dombrowski 30 Jul '19

30 Jul '19

Dear all, I am writing to follow up on the long-dormant discussion thread about the future of GO::DH with regard to ADHO. The vote in late 2017 indicated that the membership would like the exec to look into what would be involved in joining ADHO as a constituent organization (CO). At DH 2019, Barbara Bordalejo and I met with Harold Short (chair of the ADHO Admissions Committee) and Ray Siemens (also on the Admissions Committee) about the conditions under which GO::DH could join as CO of ADHO. Since the GO::DH membership last discussed the possibility of becoming a CO, ADHO itself has undergone a massive reorganization. Most significantly, ADHO is led by a Constituent Board, where each CO has one representative -- regardless of the number of members of that CO. (Previously, EADH had the most representation because they had the most members, followed by ACH.) There is also an Executive Board, which is in charge of carrying out the decisions made by the Constituent Board. Becoming a CO would give GO::DH a voice equal to any other CO in the high-level decision-making processes of ADHO. Barbara and I made it clear to Harold and Ray that not having a membership fee was essential for GO::DH, and while GO::DH would be the first organization with that requirement, they noted that ADHO has adapted its rules many times for new members, and didn’t see not charging a membership fee as a barrier to ADHO admission. A related requirement from the ADHO side is that COs have an official way to receive and manage money (i.e. a treasurer, bank account, etc.), but since we’re not collecting membership fees, they were also receptive to the idea of not having that as a requirement for GO::DH, either. Currently, ADHO COs are guaranteed $3k/year if their membership fees aren’t enough to provide at least that much. Because GO::DH doesn’t collect membership fees, and wouldn’t have an official way to manage money, we talked about waiving the annual $3k subvention from ADHO, and instead requesting funds on an as-needed basis for projects. These funds could then go directly to the institution(s) organizing those projects (e.g. workshops, etc.) Instead of getting $3k from ADHO, we talked about the possibility of getting annual registration fee waivers for our members (e.g. those from countries that can receive free access to LLC) to the DH conference, and other events, workshops, and trainings. We felt that those registration fee waivers may ultimately be more valuable than the $3k, and working with other COs to obtain those waivers will help strengthen our partnerships throughout ADHO. We welcome any thoughts or feedback from you on the possibility of admission to ADHO as a CO, now or at any point in the process. Please let me know if you have any questions. From here, the next step is to draft a proposal, get feedback from the GO::DH membership, and ideally, connect with other COs about what we might be able to do together. I started some of these discussions informally at the conference, and so far the response has been overwhelmingly warm and positive. Laura Mandell of centerNet, in particular, is excited about the possibility of having another globally-scoped organization to collaborate with. Looking back on the discussions from 2017, I’m optimistic that GO::DH is now in a position to have the best of both worlds: giving our members a voice in international DH decision-making through becoming an ADHO CO, as well as working on projects that raise the visibility of digital humanities work going on across the globe, in many languages. As mentioned at the GO::DH meeting in Utrecht, we’re starting work on a new “Around DH” project that will run throughout 2020, as well as revisiting the 2012 infographic quantifying DH that was rightly criticized for omitting the Global South: http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/around-dh-2020-and-quantifying-dh-infographi… If you’d like to help work on either of those projects, or have your work featured in “Around DH 2020”, please fill out the form(s) on that blog post. Thanks for reading this long note; please let us know if you have any thoughts or questions on it. All the best, Quinn

[Call for Participation] Kaggle Competition: Kuzushiji Recognition
by KITAMOTO Asanobu 29 Jul '19

29 Jul '19

Dear Colleagues, I would like to announce the launch of the Kaggle Competition "Kuzushiji Recognition." Kuzushiji is a set of old Japanese characters that had been used for a thousand years in Japan, but most of the contemporary Japanese people cannot read them due to cursive writing style and the different form of characters. To solve this problem, we take advantage of machine learning and AI to develop Kuzushiji OCR algorithm for automatically extracting the type and the location of kuzushiji characters from old Japanese books. Kaggle is the world's largest community of data scientists, and this competition is the first on the Kaggle platform in the area of digital humanities. We wish to see active participation of people with background not only in computer vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, but also in Japanese studies and digital humanities. ** Period: July 19 to October 14, 2019 ** Competition official page: https://www.kaggle.com/c/kuzushiji-recognition/ ** Competition host page: http://codh.rois.ac.jp/competition/kaggle/ ** Hosts ROIS-DS Center for Open Data in the Humanities http://codh.rois.ac.jp/ National Institute of Japanese Literature https://www.nijl.ac.jp/ National Institute of Informatics https://www.nii.ac.jp/ We will also offer opportunities for the winners of the competition to receive awards and give talks at a Symposium on November 11 in Tokyo, Japan. ** Japanese Culture and AI Symposium 2019 http://codh.rois.ac.jp/symposium/japanese-culture-ai-2019/ We are looking forward to your participation in the competition to develop innovative tools and datasets for improving accessibility to Japanese culture of the past. --- Asanobu KITAMOTO ROIS-DS Center for Open Data in the Humanities National Institute of Informatics http://researchmap.jp/kitamoto/

Dear list members, apologies for cross-posting as always, Many of you probably saw this powerful recent article by Humberto Debat and Dominique Babini, "Plan S in Latin America: A precautionary note" https://peerj.com/preprints/27834/, which is well worth reading if you haven't. Building upon this, in this latest video for the Open Science MOOC, Arianna Becerril-Garcia from AmeliCA and Redalyc discusses the leading role they are playing with Open Access in Latin America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQDFHBJX7xI It is really quite inspiring. For those of us in the western world, I feel like a lot of the time we like to think we are leading the global charge for OA. I learned many years ago that this is not true, and in fact the commercial elements of our industry continue to cause unprecedented damage to our research and our society. We should be looking to our friends in Latin America about the incredible work they have been doing for decades now. It is quite eye-opening, and I think a discussion worth developing.
