Title: How much advertising DH research while doing it? (Isabelle Marthot-Santaniello)

Introduction from Isabelle:

• Rythm: research in the area moves so fast, we can’t wait 3 years to the official publication.
• collaboration: DH implies collaboration. What does it imply in amount of time investment
• Open to wide Audience: when do we open our research? how long we wait before going public?
• Showcases with intermediary results or database.
• Publications vs other forms of “reputation”
• Sustainability

Means and Media:

• setting up a website
• plethora of social media outlets (and oldschool mailing lists).
• Weighting traditional and novel formats of Workshops and Conferences.
• Monographs and papers as the gold standard in evaluation

How does reputation of DH projects work within SNF/other areas of interest?

• Isa: (intermediate) reports are open to activities etc. but grant applications
• Moritz: several currencies (job applications vs grant applications)
