The increasing importance of digital scholarship raises substantial \nquestions about how we evaluate both it and traditional scholarship. The\n SCS now fulfills a critical function by providing reviews of digital \nprojects on its blog. Should there be more such venues? What about \nreviews of smaller contributions? For personnel processes, the SCS has \nissued a statement in support of the value of digital work in \nprofessional evaluation. How should similar statements at other \ninstitutions be formulated, and how can they be put into practice? How \nshould we distinguish in evaluation processes among different forms of \ndigital publications, from tools, to online primary texts, to articles \nin open journals? In projects that are often collaborative, how should \ncredit be given to project participants? How do we give proper weight to\n micro-publications, contributions to code, student contributions, \nsuperseded contributions, and other non-traditional contributions to \nscholarship? For granting agencies, on what basis do they review \nproposals for digital projects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More broadly, does the capacity for online publication have \nconsequences for the traditional peer-review model of publication and \nprofessional credentialing? What is the role of trust in traditional \nmodes of evaluation (e.g., trust in print book publishers and journals)?\n Do we need to establish similar levels of trust in online and digital \nwork and evaluations of them? If so, how?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstracts are invited addressing these and other questions dealing \nwith the evaluation of digital work, with traditional standards for \nevaluation in the new digital context, or both. Presentations might come\n from scholars or students who have produced digital work that has been \nor should be evaluated. They might come from administrators at colleges \nand universities who have faced the question of evaluating digital or \ntraditional scholarship. They might come from representatives of grant \nfunding agencies. Or from others as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anonymous abstracts of no more than 400 words should be sent to digitalclassicsassociation@gmail.com<\/a>, with identifying information in the email. Abstracts will be refereed anonymously in accordance with SCS regulations. Submitters should confirm in their emails that they are SCS members in good standing. Abstracts should follow the formatting guidelines of the instructions for individual abstracts on the SCS website. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is Friday, March 1, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
