RIDE - Review Journal for Digital Editions and Resources

Aims & Scope

RIDE is an open and interdisciplinary space for the exchange of theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations within the Digital Humanities. Reviews from all the fields of the Humanities are welcome and can be published in different languages. The aim is that the digital editions and other digital scholarly resources are reviewed in their entirety, including aspects of their content or field of application, but beyond that RIDE is especially intended as a journal which focuses on the methodological and technical aspect of the digital resources and which enables the exchange of ideas between disciplines in this respect. Also, as it is a dedicated review journal, the process of reviewing digital resources is in general reflected upon. RIDE has been conceived of not only as a reviewing journal for digital scholarly editions but also for other kinds of resources with relevance for Digital Humanities, including data sets of different types, software and applications. Since 2017 the focus of RIDE was widened up to digital text collections, which we define as digital resources that involve the collecting, structuring and enrichment of textual data from various humanities disciplines such as Literary Studies, Linguistics and History. Since 2020, RIDE is also dedicated to the reviewing of software, particularly of tools and environments for scholarly editing. For both sections, text collections and tools, the motivation for reviewing is the same as for digital scholarly editions: further the methodological discussions around these kinds of resources in the Digital Humanities, provide a venue for discussing best practices, questions of standardization and workflows as well as defining the state-of-the-art in both fields.
