Dear all,
The centerNet Executive Committee seeks nominations for Advisory Board members for its new publication, *DHCommons*, which will provide peer review for mid-stage digital projects. *DHCommons* aims to provide a truly global picture of the DH community. To that end, its leadership will be comprised of members from each of centerNet’s regions.
The Advisory Board will join Co-Lead-Editor Ryan Cordell, a Co-Lead-Editor from outside North America to be named soon, and Technical Editor Quinn Dombrowski. The Board will be drawn from centerNet's regions and help ensure the global vision of the *DHCommons*journal. To nominate someone to the Advisory Board, please send an email to info@dhcommons.org with the nominee’s name and affiliation, as well as a brief nominating statement describing the scholar’s qualifications for the position. Self nominations are permitted.
*DHCommons* is intended to address the “evaluation gap” between the Digital Humanities and more traditional disciplinary scholarship. Digital projects can often stretch over many years as a continuum of work—not necessarily building to a finished project in the same way monographs do, though there are significant milestones in a project's life. DH practitioners need concrete ways to certify the value of long-standing, influential, but unfinished projects to colleagues unfamiliar with the contours of DH work. * DHCommons*aims to meet these challenges, pioneering a model of peer review focused on mid-stage digital projects from around the world. With Co-Editors-in-Chief and an international advisory drawn from each of centerNet’s worldwide regions, By reviewing well-developed but unfinished projects, *DHCommons* aims to foster a developmental model that will help DH scholars hone their work while certifying the value of their projects to both the DH field and to their home disciplines. Best, Neil
