Collaborative Research in the Digital Humanities cover

Collaboration within digital humanities is both a pertinent and a pressing topic as the traditional mode of the humanist, working alone in his or her study, is supplemented by explicitly co-operative, interdependent and collaborative research. This is particularly true where computational methods are employed in large-scale digital humanities projects. This book, which celebrates the contributions of Harold Short to this field, presents fourteen essays by leading authors in the digital humanities. It addresses several issues of collaboration, from the multiple perspectives of institutions, projects and individual researchers.

'The theme of this volume is collaboration and the application of computing tools for research and teaching in the humanities. This collection of 14 papers provides a unique insight into the reception of technology in the humanities over the past decade and highlights the contribution made by Harold Short in his work at King’s College London.' Online Information Review 'All the chapters are devoted to interesting challenges, such as authorship issues, usage of standards, crowd sourcing the humanities, and mark-up of texts.'
