“…One of the first measures is a productive research team, as measured by standard academic criteria (Cantwell, 2011). As seen on the INKE publication page (2012b), the research output includes a long list of articles and book chapters, presentations, prototypes, and designs, much of which has received peer review from the digital humanities community, but also acceptance by traditional humanities disciplines, such as the Canadian Association for the Study of Book Culture and the Bibliographic Society of Canada (INKE, 2012b;Siemens & INKE Research Group, 2012a;Siemens, Dobson, Ruecker, Cunningham, Galey, Warwick, & Siemens, 2011). is measure of academic productivity was also acknowledged by the SSHRC midterm review report.…”

Many academic teams and granting agencies undergo a process of reflection at a project’s completion to understand lessons learned and develop best practice guidelines. These reviews focus on the actual research work accomplished with little discussion of the relationships and processes involved. As a result, some hard-earned lessons are forgotten or minimized. To address, the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project provides an opportunity to explore the changing nature of collaboration over a long-term project’s life. Now at the fourth year, team members reflect on the deepening and strengthening collaboration, with layers of engagement between the various individuals and sub-research areas, which has translated into productivity and external validation of the collaboration and its work. The article concludes with recommendations for other teams.

“…Collaboration centers on a common understanding of language and terminology, methods, theories, tasks and workflows, values, goals, and outcomes (Siemens, 2009; Siemens et al , 2012). To effect legitimate collaboration, research teams need to cultivate trust and ultimately consensus through communication.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to dissect key issues and debates in digital humanities, an emerging field of theory and practice. Digital humanities stands greatly to impact the Information and Library Science (ILS) professions (and vice versa) as well as the traditional humanities disciplines. Design/methodology/approach This paper explores the contours of digital humanities as a field, touching upon fundamental issues related to the field’s coalescence and thus to its structure and epistemology. It looks at the ways in which digital humanities brings new approaches and sheds new light on manifold humanities foci. Findings Digital humanities work represents a vital new current of interdisciplinary, collaborative intellectual activity both in- and outside the academy; it merits particular attention from ILS. Research limitations/implications This paper helps potential stakeholders understand the intellectual and practical framework of the digital humanities and “its relationship” to their own intellectual and professional work. Originality/value This paper critically synthesizes previous scholarly work in digital humanities. It has particular value for those in ILS, a community that has proven especially receptive to the field, as well as to scholars working in many humanities disciplines. Digital humanities has already made an important impact on both LIS and the humanities; its impact is sure to grow.

“…The team was based in Canada, United States, and the United Kingdom at nine universities [50]. Grounded primarily in the humanities with representation from English, Book History, Philosophy, French, and Communication and beyond into Information Studies, Education, Design, Public Administration, and others, it is focused on studying different elements of reading and both digital and printed texts and contributing to the articulation of new knowledge environments [51][52][53]. The project is about to start its seventh and final year of funded research.…”

“More Hands” Means “More Ideas”: Collaboration in the Humanities

Like those in the Sciences and Social Sciences, humanities researchers are turning to collaborations to explore increasingly complex questions and implement new forms of methodologies. Granting agencies are supporting this trend with specific programs focused on highly collaborative research. While researchers and other associated team members welcome these collaborations as a way to undertake projects that would not be otherwise possible, work needs to be done to prepare individuals for team research. This becomes especially important for those in the Humanities who have been trained in single author work patterns and rewarded for those. Given this, what does collaboration look like in Humanities research? This paper will explore the experience of a large scale Humanities collaboration to understand the nature of collaboration, benefits and challenges and conclude with best practices for individuals and teams considering collaborative research.
