Journal: Journal of Open Humanities Data
Issue: Special Issue: Language Datasets Reuse: Opportunities,
Challenges, and Best Practices
Call Deadline: 30-Jan-2026

We are pleased to invite contributions to a Special Collection of the
Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD) dedicated to language data
reuse. The special collection is titled “Language datasets reuse:
opportunities, challenges, and best practices”.
This Special Collection will highlight how existing deposited mono-
and multilingual language datasets (in any modality) have been reused
in research across the humanities. Contributions may also describe
cases where dataset reuse led to the creation of a new dataset. We
welcome papers that present both successful and less successful
experiences of language data reuse, with reflection on encountered
issues and lessons learned. Position papers on how data creators can
maximize the future reuse potential of language datasets are also
encouraged.
We invite the following type of submission:
Discussion papers (3,000–5,000 words): Longer narratives illustrating
the reuse of one or more existing deposited language datasets
(preferably created by researchers other than the authors) or
showcasing reuse-focused dataset design approaches. Papers should
follow the discussion paper template for this Special Collection.
Key Information:
Submission deadline: 30 January 2026
Submission link:

Publication fees: Waivers are available upon request. For papers
describing reuse of datasets hosted in a CLARIN centre, publication
fees may be covered by CLARIN.
Guest Editorial Team:

Coordinating Editor:

We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the
conversation on the reuse of language data in the humanities.
