Il direttivo di AIUCD ha deciso di interrompere la pubblicazione di contenuti su X.

Gli aggiornamenti proseguiranno su questo sito web, sul gruppo Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/aiucd), su LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/aiucd/) e su Mastodon (https://fedihum.org/@aiucd)

Wer mit dem Gedanken spielt zu Mastodon umzuziehen und noch nicht genau weiß, wie das eigentlich funktioniert, kein Verzagen! Bei der DHd 2024 gab es einen Workshop zu den Grundlagen von Mastodon, zur Digital Humanities Instanz Fedihum (herzliche Einladung) und zum automatisierten Tröten mit Autodone.

Die Folien zum Workshop mit Mareike König, Jürgen Hermes, Philip Schildkamp, Vivien Wolter, Ulrike Wuttke und Henrik Schönemann haben wir aus aktuellem Anlass auf Zenodo zur Nachnutzung veröffentlicht, viel Erfolg!

Zu Autodone freuen sich über Nachrichten: Jürgen Hermes und Philip Schildkamp.

Wie Mastodon als Teil des Fediverse zur offenen Wissenschaftskommunikation beiträgt, welche Gedanken sich der DHd-Verband beim Aufsetzen der Fedihum-Instanz gemacht hat und welche Einsatzmöglichkeiten, z. B. in der Lehre die automatisierte Veröffentlichung von Kurznachrichten bietet, kann genauer im dazugehörigen Abstract im Book of Abstracts der DHd 2024 nachgelesen werden: König, M., Hermes, J., Schildkamp, P., Wolter, V., & Wuttke, U.

Welcome to another summary of new digital scholarschip resources added to the Artes Digital Scholarship Community on Zotero (learn more about this group and join with your Zotero account to get the group’s resources right in Zotero on your desktop).

In this edition: reference management tips and tricks, essential reading for those starting out with research on social media or other user-generated content online, a guide to organising and supporting citizen science projects, musings about the role of software in research, a warning shot for researchers who keep data on Google services (sorry), and for inspiration, a very lovely and fascinating visualization of character relationships in The Witcher:

• Want to start using a reference manager like Zotero, but worried about laboriously transferring every single reference in the long list of sources that you’ve been keeping in Word or elsewhere? AnyStyle converts a list of references into a structured format that can be imported by reference managers and other programs: Keil, S. (n.d.). AnyStyle.io. Retrieved December 23, 2021, from https://anystyle.io/
• We always recommend using a reference manager like Zotero to automatically generate bibliographies for your articles and ensure that your references section is complete and correct. If you haven’t used a reference manager, however, you can still use Recite to automatically check whether your in-text citations match your list of references: 4cite Labs. (n.d.). Recite: APA and Harvard citations checked instantly. Retrieved December 23, 2021, from https://reciteworks.com/
• A humorous interlude on reproducibility: Ben Golub. (2021, December 24). Economics paper with secret data be like https://t.co/wmUk2N4lrZ [Tweet]. @ben_golub. https://twitter.com/ben_golub/status/1474213075268128772
• A great summary of what researchers should keep in mind when using data from social media in their projects: Centre for Data, Culture, and Society. (2021). Social media research: Ethical guidance for researchers at the University of Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh. https://www.cdcs.ed.ac.uk/files/2021-09/Social_Media_Ethics.pdf
• A basic and essential guide to the ethical considerations that come with researching online materials: franzke, aline shakti, Bechmann, A., Zimmer, M., Ess, C., the, & Association of Internet Researchers. (n.d.). Internet Research: Ethical Guidelines 3.0. Retrieved January 10, 2022, from https://aoir.org/reports/ethics3.pdf
• A practical guide designed to assist those organising and participating in a citizen science project to get the most out of the experience: Group, L. C. S. W. (2021). Citizen Science Skilling for Library Staff, Researchers, and the Public. LIBER Citizen Science Working Group. https://doi.org/10.25815/hf0m-2a57
• An engaging example of network analysis and data visualization applied to textual data from the popular “Witcher” novels: Janosov, M. (2021, December 23). A Network Map of The Witcher. Nightingale. https://nightingaledvs.com/a-network-map-of-the-witcher
• On the crucial role of software in research, which is difficult to recognize within the traditional academic publication model: Jay, C., Haines, R., & Katz, D. S. (2021). Software Must be Recognised as an Important Output of Scholarly Research. International Journal of Digital Curation, 16(1), 6. https://doi.org/10.2218/ijdc.v16i1.745
• And finally, a scary reminder that external cloud services exert sometimes unexpected amounts of control over the data posted there, and that scholarly data on cloud services is in danger if it’s flagged as a “potential policy violation”: Khalili, J. (2021, December 15). Google Drive could soon start locking your files. TechRadar. https://www.techradar.com/news/google-drive-could-soon-start-locking-your-personal-files

Starting this week, we’ll be posting regular summaries of new digital scholarschip resources that were added to the Artes Digital Scholarship Community on Zotero (learn more about this group and join with your Zotero account to get the group’s resources right in Zotero on your desktop).

In this inaugural edition, we have some great project management tips that are really about research data management (RDM), ways of using RSS feeds to keep track of updates on a website, how to export comments from Word files to turn them into structured data, ruminations on the influence of the coronavirus pandemic on scholarship, and more.

Die 10. Ausgabe der Tagung „Computer-Mediated Communication and Social Media Corpora (CMC-CORPORA)“ wird gemeinsam von der Universität Mannheim und dem Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache am 14. und 15. September 2023 in den Räumlichkeiten der Universität Mannheim (Schloss) ausgerichtet.

Das Programm der Tagung ist vielfältig: Interdisziplinär angelegt, vereint es Forschungsarbeiten zur internetbasierten Kommunikation (IBK) und sozialen Medien aus Sprach-, Kommunikations-, Medien- und Sozialwissenschaften mit Fragestellungen aus den Bereichen der Korpus- und Computerlinguistik sowie der Sprach- und Texttechnologie.

IBK- und Social-Media-Daten stammen dabei aus verschiedenen Medien der digitalen Kommunikation, wie z. B. E-Mails, Newsgroups, Foren, Chat- und Messenger-Anwendungen (WhatsApp), sozialen Netzwerken (Facebook, Instagram), Gaming-Plattformen, Interaktionen in Kommentar- und Kommunikationsbereichen von Videoportalen (YouTube) oder Lernplattformen, Gaming-Apps, Online-Spiele und virtuellen Welten.

Weiterhin werden Untersuchungen zu computergestützten Methoden und Werkzeugen zur empirischen Analyse von IBK- und Social-Media-Phänomenen sowie Forschungsarbeiten zum Aufbau, zur Verarbeitung, Annotation, Repräsentation und Nutzung von IBK- und Social-Media-Korpora, einschließlich ihrer Integration in digitale Forschungsinfrastrukturen, thematisiert.

Als Keynote-Sprecherinnen der diesjährigen 10. Ausgabe referieren Unn Røyneland (University of Oslo) und Tatjana Scheffler (Ruhr-Universität Bochum). Eine Übersicht der angenommenen Beiträge (Vorträge und Posterpräsentationen) findet sich hier.
