The DARIAH Winter School &#8220;Open Data Citation for Social Science and Humanities&#8221; is set to take place in Prague. It is organized as part of DARIAH&#8217;s Humanities at Scale project (HaS), in partnership with Huma-Num, OpenEdition and Charles University. It will explore and examine ongoing issues in scholarly publishing in the Digital Humanities.Dates and Venue24th to 28th of October, 2016 Charles University, Prague, Czech RepublicDetailed descriptionThe parallel development of Open Access publication and of the digital humanities has changed the practices and further redefined the challenges of an evolving publication regime in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The use of digital and online research methods continually enables new features, involves new interactions, and opens up new relations to text. Greater overlap between these two movements in the research context means that there are now myriad possibilities in terms of creating and disseminating texts: indexing, hypertext links, advanced searches, public annotations, commentaries, semantic linking and embedding, etc. are all now established methods and position research increasingly as an outward-facing exercise.Regarding sources, the development of digital humanities during the past twenty years has increased the availability of research data in the humanities, in open access form, from a tremendous number of sources, in a broad heterogeneity of documents and formats: textual sources, qualitative and quantitative datasets, iconography, schemes, audio and video, etc. This permits the humanities and social sciences to be more and more involved in the Open Science movement experienced in other disciplines.More generally, it is the very relation between research data and publication itself that modifies and constitutes an issue for the digital humanities, particularly through the question of data citation in the context of openness &#8211; how does one effectively cite data in the humanities for broad re-use and research impact?The winter school will therefore address the issue of Open Data in digital humanities by systematically exploring the themes and practices underpinning data citation in the broader context of Open Science.The winter school will be organized as 10 thematic half-days, both theoretical and pragmatic, including lectures, presentations and practical workshops.Provisional ProgramMonday 24th October (morning) - Session 1: Introduction to DARIAH &#38; The status of data in social sciences and humanities publicationMonday 24th October (afternoon) - Session 2: Open critical editionTuesday 25th October (morning) - Session 3: Data Management PlanTuesday 25th October (afternoon) - Session 4: Persistent IdentificationWednesday 26th of October (morning) - Session 5: Evaluation, acknowledgement and credit circulationWednesday 26th of October (afternoon) - Session 6: EU policy on Open Access &#38; Open Data - Central European perspectivesThursday 27th of October (morning) - Session 7: Data Journals &#38; editorialization of Open DataThursday 27th of October (afternoon) - Session 8: Economy of Open Access &#38; Open Data publicationFriday 28th of October (morning) - Session 9: Epistemology of Data VisualizationFriday 28th of October (afternoon) - Session 10: Societal impact of Open ScienceWe also plan to have five daily focus points about ground-breaking tools and technology.CostsDARIAH&#8217;s Humanities at Scale project will offer a grant program to 10 attendees to cover the costs of travel and accommodation by providing a per diem of 100&#8364;.
