So much research goes unnoticed. Research results may not be known outside of the community they were developed, thus limiting reuse and inspiring further research. This is the gap that the DARIAH Spotlight series aims to address.
DARIAH is delighted to announce a new outreach campaign entitled DARIAH Spotlight. This campaign is a monthly series that will provide an opportunity to showcase digital scholarship in the humanities from both DARIAH Working Groups and DH projects within the DARIAH network.
More specifically, Spotlight articles may:
Enhance the visibility and showcase scholarship that takes place within the DARIAH ecosystem (DARIAH Working Groups, DARIAH members and Cooperating Partners).
Strengthen the visibility of content contained within DARIAH tools and services (such as DARIAH-Campus and the SSH Open Marketplace).
Provide examples of inspiring digital scholarship and project achievements, encouraging collaborations within the DARIAH community and beyond.
We welcome contributions for Spotlight posts beginning September 2025. Eight posts will be published between September 2025 – May 2026, roughly divided between Working Groups and Digital Projects. In deciding which articles will be selected, the Spotlight Team will work towards a balance between DARIAH member states and cooperating partners, a range of technologies, methods, and disciplines. We will also look for gender balance in the overall authorship of the posts.
The deadline for the first round of consideration is July 9, 2025. If slots remain open after this first deadline, consideration for Spotlight posts will be decided on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Spotlights should announce a significant milestone for the Working Group. For example:
Announcing a workshop, conference, or other public event that the WG will organise.
Announcing a call for papers for a special issue of the new DARIAH journal Transformations (or announce that the special issue has been published), both in coordination with the Transformations Editorial Board.
Announcing a series of submissions to the SSH Open Marketplace and report on them (with links to the Marketplace entries).
Publishing a course on DARIAH-Campus.
Presenting at the DARIAH’s Fridays Frontiers series.
In as far as possible, the article should highlight the theoretical, historical, social, and methodological underpinnings of the initiative.
Spotlights should not simply be a post about the project, but should also highlight why and how digital tools and methods were used to fulfill project goals, including:
How the specific technologies chosen fulfil the scientific goals
The community(ies) the project serves
What research question or goal the project fulfills
How the project fits into the larger research landscape
Lessons learned
In as far as possible, the article should highlight the theoretical, historical, social, and methodological underpinnings of the research
The Spotlight team will prioritise Projects that can demonstrate a relation to DARIAH, for example:
Financed by DARIAH-EU and/or DARIAH-national consortium.
Led (or have a significant contribution) by a researcher affiliated with a DARIAH partner institution.
Have (or be willing to create prior to publication) an entry in the Marketplace.
Have a look at past Spotlight articles for a quick showcase of the excellent research happening in DH, linked to the DARIAH infrastructure.
