This article presents a vision for a scholarly communication research infrastructure for social sciences and humanities (SSH). The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the pressing need to access research outputs without the traditional economic and temporal barriers. This article explores the current scholarly communication landscape, assessing the reasons for the slower uptake of open access in SSH research. The authors discuss such frontiers as commercial interests, sources of academic prestige and discipline-specific genres. This article defines and discusses the key areas in which a research infrastructure can play a vital role in making open scholarly communication a reality in SSH: (1) providing a federated and easy access to scattered SSH outputs; (2) supporting publication and dissemination of discipline-specific genres (e.g. monographs, critical editions); (3) providing help with evaluation and quality assurance practices in SSH; (4) enabling  scholarly work in national languages, which is significant for local communities; (5) being governed by researchers and for researchers as a crucial factor for productive, useful and accessible services; (6) lastly, considering the needs of other stakeholders involved in scholarly communication, such as publishers, libraries, media, non-profit organisations, and companies. They conclude that a scholarly-driven, inclusive, dedicated infrastructure for the European Research Area is needed in order to advance open science in SSH and to address the issues tackled by SSH researchers at a structural and systemic level.

Wtem Choć ostatnimi czasy dość głośno o humanistyce cyfrowej, to sam termin pojawił się w Polsce dość późno. Jeśli uznać statystyki Google Trends za miarodajne źródło, to przed jesienią 2012 roku hasło to praktycznie nie pojawiało się w zapytaniach internetowych (zob. rys. 1). Rys. 1. Wykres wyszukiwań słów: humanistyka cyfrowa w Google (statystyki dla całego świata), przedział miesięczny. Źródło: Google Trends. 1 1 Warto podkreślić, że nie dysponujemy danymi surowymi-a na wykresie umieszczono jedynie proporcje relatywne względem tygodnia, w którym tych wyszukiwań było najwięcej (18.01.2015).

The apology of popular fiction Everyday uses of literature in Poland Popular fiction is expelled from literary canons and is usually treated as a form ofludic or emotional relaxation and an escape from daily problems (Nell 1988; Radway 1984). Drawing on the results of my study on Polish readers, I claim that reading popular fiction, as an everyday-life activity, is much more than a simple leisurely activity, and plays a vital role in the way readers cope with their surrounding environment. Employing the framework of phenomenological sociology I argue that reading popular fiction can be described in terms of a rational action undertaken in order to achieve specific pragmatic goals, such as emotional tuning or search for subjectively important information.
