Call for papers - Sustainable data from digital research: Humanities perspectives on digital scholarship

[Nick Thieberger]

Dates: 12-14th December 2011

Venue: University of Melbourne, Australia

A PARADISEC conference

Digital methods for recording information are now ubiquitous. In
fieldwork-based disciplines, like linguistics, musicology,
anthropology and so on, recordings are typically of high cultural
value and there is great benefit in the proper curation of these
recordings, to the researcher, to the community in which they worked,
and to the broader society.

What are the costs and benefits of these technologies?

CALL FOR PAPERS

Papers are welcomed on any relevant topic, including (but not limited to):

How can we:

    ensure the longevity of the data we record
    access our own data over time
    provide public access to publicly funded research data (including
dealing with ethical and IP issues)
    provide data to the people we record, especially to those who have
little access to computers or the internet
    ensure that our research processes and analysis take maximum
advantage of the access to data provided by digital methods
    embed our analysis in accessible data to allow verification of our claims
    enable research based on digital data from archival sources
    develop tools and processes that accumulate data in
standards-conformant formats

Abstracts are due by 9th May 2011 with responses by 10th June, 2011.

Full papers for those who want them published in the peer-reviewed
volume will be required by August 5th for peer-review. The edited
volume will be available as a book at the conference and will be
hosted in an open-access online repository at Sydney University. Some
non-published presentations will also be accepted.

Abstract submission should be made on the conference management system
where you will need to register yourself as an 'author'.
