Digital Studies / Le champ numérique (ISSN 1918-3666) is a refereed academic journal, publishing three times a year and serving as a formal arena for scholarly activity and as an academic resource for researchers in the digital humanities. DS/CN is published by the Society for Digital Humanities / Société pour l'étude des médias interactifs (SDH/SEMI), an organisation affiliated with the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing (ALLC) through the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO).
Work published in DS/CN reflects the values of this community and the interdisciplinary diversity of those who comprise it, with particular emphasis on emerging digital humanities methodology and its application, on the engagement of that work in pertinent disciplinary contexts, and on multilinguality and complementarity with other ADHO publications (among them the journals Literary and Linguistic Computing, and Digital Humanities Quarterly). Similarly, our publication technology, policies and practices will strive to promote and reflect the community's best emergent and longstanding practices.
About SDH/SEMI: SDH/SEMI is a Canada-wide association of representatives from Canadian colleges and universities that began in 1986, founded as the Consortium for Computers in the Humanities / Consortium pour ordinateurs en sciences humaines. Its objective is to draw together humanists who are engaged in digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation. The society fosters work in the digital humanities in Canada's two official languages, and champions interaction between Canada's anglophone and francophone communities, in all areas reflected by its diverse membership: providing opportunities for publication, presentation, and collaboration; supporting a number of educational venues and international initiatives; acting as an advisory and lobbying force to local, national, and international research and research-funding bodies; working with allied organisations; and beyond. Among the society's members are those at the forefront of areas such as textual analysis, electronic publication, document encoding, textual studies and theory, new media studies and multimedia, digital libraries, applied augmented reality, interactive gaming, and beyond; they are researchers and lecturers in humanities computing and in academic departments such as English, French, History, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Theatre, Music, Computer Science, and Visual Arts; they are resource specialists working in libraries, archival centres, and with humanities computing groups; they are academic administrators, and members of the private and public sectors; they are independent scholars, students, graduate students, and research assistants; and, though predominantly Canadian, they have been from countries in every hemisphere.
