Selected papers will be submitted to the Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ)
as a special issue. Deadline: 15 July.

In the last decade historians have witnessed a proliferation of digitized
and born-digital data sets. Examples include digitized correspondences,
oral history interviews, photos, and maps. A growing number of cultural
institutions such as archives, museums, and libraries, have made parts of
their digital assets available in raw data formats. Some institutions
launched pilot projects experimenting with data releases. Historical data
sets encourage data-driven inquiries into the past, as well as the
integration of data science methods into historical research. Best
practice, and illustrative examples in the application of data science
methods in historical research remain scarce, however. Similarly, the
epistemological and theoretical underpinning of historical research
applying data science methods needs to be developed. This collection of
papers will offer a panorama of the current state of the art in the
application of data science methods in historical research; it will be
submitted to the Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) as a special issue.

Themes

We specifically invite contributions that analyze data sets and integrate
complex models of data science into historical inquiry. We also seek
contributions that discuss the development of new data sets and research
softwares. In brief, we aim to publish papers with three foci:

   - analysis of historical data sets with data science methods
   - software development for the application of data science methods in
   history
   - preparation of historical data sets to be studied with data science
   methods

Content

Prospective authors are asked to reflect on know-how, best practice, and
epistemology, as well as how newly developed data and software will
contribute to existing knowledge and scholarship. Authors are also
encouraged to include deeper methodological reflections and to highlight
how data science methods can further our understanding of the past and open
new directions for future research. More generally, we seek fresh and
original perspectives that problematize both data and data-centric
approaches, as well as the synergies between theory and practice.

Submission

We encourage contributions between 5000 and 8000 words, though shorter
papers (3000 - 5000) will also be considered.
