Peinture d’une femme, je dirai du XVIIIe siècle, avec une robe richement brodée. Elle est assise confortablement, a un livre ouvert sur les genoux, et regarde dans le vide, pensive.

"Preprints are read, shared, and cited — yet still dismissed as incomplete until blessed by a publisher" universonline.nl/nieuws/2025/1 via @cdb_77 "Matti Vuorre argues that the true measure of scholarship lies in open exchange, not in the industry’s gatekeeping labels of what counts as published"

We provide web development with a difference for projects. Our academic support background means we focus on:

* good data and metadata ;
* sustainability ;
* standards and lightweight technology ;
* academic outputs and citability.

Development

Huber Digital provides web development with a difference. Our academic support background means we:

focus on good data and metadata;
focus on sustainability, not primarily the latest flashy interface (though we love good design);
focus on standards and lightweight technology, not on expensive infrastructure and unnecessary technology layers;
focus on academic outputs, citability, and longevity.

We know that academic projects are not always funded, and that where they are, the funding may be tight. For an unfunded project, we will give a free initial consultation, which can be followed up by very competitively priced advice aimed at enabling the researcher to do the work themselves.

Wikipedia is celebrating its 25th anniversary in January, and our amazing creative teams in the Wikimedia Foundation put together this video that I love.

Fun fact! There are something like 500 attributions for images, sounds, and text in the video 🤯 commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil

In the Open Scholarship platform you can model both the material legacies and digital remediation processes of all digital editions. PRISMS employs technologies, and it is easy to contribute to the knowledge base:
