Aims & Scope

Digital Medievalist is an anglophone, platinum-open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to every facet of digital scholarship on the Middle Ages. Founded in 2005 as “the most formal part” of the wider Digital Medievalist community, the journal has evolved in step with the field: from its pioneering beginnings at the University of Lethbridge (2005-2017), through a period of professionalisation on the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) platform (2017-2025), to its relaunch on OpenEdition Journals at a rate of one open issue per year. Digital Medievalist publishes original scholarly articles, research notes, dataset descriptions, and critical editions that address any aspect of medieval studies through digital methods and technologies. This includes (but is not limited to) digital editions, computational approaches to medieval texts, digital palaeography, medieval GIS, linked open data, digital curation of medieval objects etc. Submissions from all scholarly traditions and disciplinary backgrounds are welcomed. The journal is committed to methodological rigour, transparency, reproducibility, and inclusivity.
