Announcements

  • JOHD accepted into Web of Science

    We are pleased to announce that the Journal of Open Humanities Data has been accepted into Web of Science. In making this decision, Web of Science recognised that the journal consistently includes articles that are of high academic quality and relevant to an international audience, and addresses a subject area not properly covered by an existing journal.

  • Call for Papers for 2024

    The Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD) features peer-reviewed publications describing humanities research objects with high potential for reuse. These might include curated resources like (annotated) linguistic corpora, ontologies, and lexicons, as well as databases, maps, atlases, linked data objects, and other data sets created with qualitative, quantitative, or computational methods, including large language model prompts and prompt engineering strategies.

    We are currently inviting submissions of two varieties:

    1. Short data papers contain a concise description of a humanities research object with high reuse potential. These are short (1,000 words) highly structured narratives. A data paper does not replace a traditional research article, but rather complements it.
    1. Full length research papers discuss and illustrate methods, challenges, and limitations in humanities research data creation, collection, management, access, processing, or analysis. These are intended to be longer narratives (3,000 - 5,000 words), which give authors the ability to contribute to a broader discussion regarding the creation of research objects or methods.

    Humanities subjects of interest to the JOHD include, but are not limited to Art History, Classics, History, Library Science, Linguistics, Literature, Media Studies, Modern Languages, Music and musicology, Philosophy, Religious Studies, etc. Research that crosses one or more of these traditional disciplinary boundaries is highly encouraged. Authors are encouraged to publish their data in recommended repositories. More information about the submission process, editorial policies and archiving is available on the journal’s web pages.

    We accept online submissions via our journal website. See Author Guidelines for further information. Alternatively, please contact the editor if you are unsure as to whether your research is suitable for submission to the journal.
