Brown University Digital Publications is pleased to announce a call for participants for Born-Digital Scholarly Publishing: Resources and Roadmaps, an NEH-funded national training institute, in summer 2024.
The three-week hybrid institute will take place virtually July 8–19, 2024 and in person July 22–26, 2024 on the campus of Brown University. Participant travel, lodging, and per diem expenses will be covered for the in-person component.
Born-Digital Scholarly Publishing: Resources and Roadmaps supports scholars who wish to produce digital publications, but may lack the necessary resources and capacity at their home institutions. Projects must be born-digital, or digital-first. The institute does not support digitization projects or the development of supplemental websites for print books, but rather digital monographs, or digital publication projects anchored by an original, long-form narrative. The institute will train a cohort of 15 scholars — including unaffiliated scholars, adjunct professors, and part-time faculty from a range of disciplines, institution type, and geographical location — in best practices in the development of digital scholarly publications. The cohort will be supported by a faculty composed of authors of published or in-progress digital monographs and digital publishing experts from university presses and Brown University Digital Publications.
Born-Digital Scholarly Publishing: Resources and Roadmaps has been organized as a hybrid, multi-phased training and mentoring program:
- A two-week virtual course will introduce participants to resources, considerations, and strategies for digital publishing (July 8–19, 2024).
- A one-week in-person workshop will yield individualized roadmaps for cohort projects (July 22–26, 2024).
- Two virtual check-ins will extend individualized project support (October 2024 and January 2025).
