The MLA's Committee on Information Technology has just published Guidelines for Evaluating Digital Scholarship. The new guidelines aim to help depts. & scholars implement effective and fair evaluation procedures for hiring, reappointment, tenure, and promotion. mla.org/Digital-Scholarship

Glad to be able to cap my career by helping to pass on what I have learned about digital scholarship, & about the profession, in the MLA’s new “Guidelines for Evaluating Digital Scholarship”: mla.org/About-Us/Governance/Co.

Élika Ortega (she, her, ella) boosted:
2024-09-19

Additional sections provide guidance on * developing a professional online presence * ensuring digital scholarship is ethical * enabling professional development & support for staff members who produce digital scholarship * framing humanities digital work in comparison to that in other disciplines.

Élika Ortega (she, her, ella) boosted:
2024-09-19

Other interventions: extended or new recommendations regarding * documentation & explanation of digital work * “evergreen” digital work * peer-reviewing of digital work * collaboration & public humanities in digital work * digital teaching; * digital service.

Élika Ortega (she, her, ella) boosted:
2024-09-19

Key interventions of MLA’s new “Guidelines for Evaluating Digital Scholarship” include: * expansion of scope to include a broader, deeper community of those who engage extensively in digital work (including but not limited to DH) & those in hybrid scholar/staff roles.

Élika Ortega (she, her, ella) boosted:
2024-09-19

The new MLA guidelines extend ideas gathered from guidelines on evaluating digital work for hiring, promotion, & tenure by other prof. associations & DH orgs that appeared after the MLA’s influential previous guidelines of 2012. See Appendix in the new guidelines of quotes from other associations.

Happy to announce the MLA’s new “Guidelines for Evaluating Digital Scholarship”: mla.org/About-Us/Governance/Co. It represents 2 years of work by our MLA Committee on Information Technology to revise the previous, narrower “Guidelines for Evaluating Work in Digital Humanities and Digital Media.”

It's no secret that RTD suffers from all kinds of inefficiencies, but today the bus simply didn't stop for me, which meant I had to drop $30 bucks on an uber to still make my connection and make it in time for class.
Colorado, please invest more in public transit!
