Reporting on the Roundtable on Peer Review for Digital Scholarly Work

Related to the question of the expression of scholarship in software, and in other forms of digital publication as well, is the question of how to evaluate it. This topic was the focus of a half-day roundtable, Peer Review for Digital Scholarly Work, held on 30 January 2015 at the University of Berne. Digital scholarly works such as Digital Editions, Digital Libraries, Digital Exhibitions, Data Visualization, Geographical Information Systems and the like are increasingly frequent in the Humanities, as main or secondary output of research projects; the question of how best to evaluate them takes on ever greater importance.
