Digital humanities and publishing a learned journal

Abstract

In his article “Digital Humanities and Publishing a Learned Journal” Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek discusses digital humanities and the publishing scholarship online in the context of the politics of publishing scholarship specifically as it pertains to humanities. Funding for the publishing of humanities scholarship remains constricted worldwide whether in print or digital and the standard remains to publish journals by subscription fees. Based on his argumentation against the “colonialism of knowledge,” Tötösy de Zepetnek argues for the publishing of humanities scholarship against subscription- based or author-pay models. Further, he presents suggestions as to the how-s of the founding of a digital humanities journal and suggestions to authors to consider when submitting a paper for publication in a digital journal.
