Ubiquity Press would like to welcome JOHD’s new Editor in Chief, Dr Barbara McGillivray. Barbara’s background is in computational linguistics for classical languages. She is a Turing research fellow at the Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics at the University of Cambridge and at The Alan Turing Institute. Barbara aims to make JOHD a key part of a thriving community of scholars sharing humanities data.
We would also like to thank Dr Nicholas Weber for his hard work and efforts during the first years of the journal.

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 (1000 words) highly structured narratives and must conform to the data paper template. A data paper does not replace a traditional research article, but rather complements it.
2. 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 JOHD include, but are not limited to Art History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Literature, Modern Languages, Music and musicology, Philosophy, Religious Studies, etc. Research that crosses one or more of these traditional disciplinary boundaries is highly encouraged.
JOHD provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
Authors remain the copyright holders and grant third parties the right to use, reproduce, and share the article according to the Creative Commons license agreement.
Authors are encouraged to publish their data in recommended repositories.
