In Developing Things<\/em> by Ramsey and Rockwell, the authors discuss the topic of scholarship around digital humanities. The article looks at dispelling a lot of the biases against digital work and online publishing.\u00a0 While I never doubted the usefulness or validity of technological approaches and digital work, I still viewed written material as more scholarly and defensible. To show that digital work holds the same validity, they looked to expand our understanding of theory. If we believe digital work as being based in theory or offering new theory then it becomes easy to accept it as scholarly work. The authors explain that theory doesn’t necessarily have to predict but rather allow for a deeper understanding of something. Their framework for defining digital work seems more convenient\u00a0than convincing but their article\u00a0still offers new ideas and pushes for more recognition\u00a0for digital work. While new ideas in digital humanities and software should definitely be qualified as scholarly work, I agree with the sentiments expressed by MG. MG expressed in their blog post that we still should be careful when examining digital work as there is a plethora\u00a0of information and sources on the internet with very few being checked for validity. This requires more effort for the reader\/examiner and one needs to be careful when trusting that online work is indeed scholarly.<\/p>\n
