Writers Stephen Ramsey and Geoffrey Rockwell collaborate in an article for DH Debates discussing the criticisms towards digital work and it’s scholarly credit. It can be difficult to clearly define what scholarly work really is in the humanities, especially when it varies depending on the context of the work. For example, digital work in the humanities is performed across professional environments as well as academic. Comparing any type of publishing, the online platform has proven to result in a greater amount of resistance and criticism. The reasons for this are still being explored, but they include the extreme ease the average person with an internet capable device has when searching for an article to read about any matter. I think it is interesting how professions that entail undoubtable scholarly work such as text\u00a0editors, literary critics, librarians, historians, and archeologists often use complicated computing software that has been developed and worked on first professionally in the digital humanities yet the tools they use are looked down upon as unscholarly. As Ramsey and Rockwell mention, however, I agree that questions such as this one are going to be given more attention and focus as time goes on, especially as new media and digital work continues to develop and take prominence across every field of professional scholarly work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
