Call for Reviews: Digital Text Collections

Dear members of the TEI community,


the Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is calling 
for reviewsfor a special issue of the journal RIDE, dedicated to Digital 
Text Collectionsin the Humanities.


For this RIDE issue, we are inviting reviews of digital text collections 
from all humanities disciplines: literature, linguistics, philosophy, 
religious studies, historical sciences and others. The term “text 
collection” is used in a broad sense here and includes all kinds of text 
sets, including for instance linguistic corpora and digital archives.


To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a framework 
for the evaluation of digital text collections, we provide Criteria for 
Reviewing Digital Text Collectionsthat are supposed to be applicable to 
various types of humanities text collections. The guidelines (Version 
1.0) can be found here: 
http://www.i-d-e.de/criteria-text-collections-version-1-0 
<http://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-text-collections-version-1-0>


Reviews are accepted in English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. 
The length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource 
offers that is worthy of discussion (approximately 1000-3000 words).


For this special issue, reviews will be accepted until April 10th, 2017. 
We kindly ask you to email us beforehand at [email protected] 
<mailto:[email protected]>with a suggestion which resource you would like 
to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area of 
expertise.

collections and suggestions for collections to review can be found at
