Toward a new social contract between publishers and editors

26 January 2015, Maison de Science de l’Homme – Alpes, Grenoble

NeDiMAH, the Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities, is 
delighted to announce this one-day seminar, which will bring together 
publishers and scholarly editors in order to discuss how best 
to produce digital editions which are at the same time both economically 
viable and in keeping with scholarly standards.

In the pre-digital world, publishers and editors normally collaborated: 
the editors would produce the edition, following the guidelines provided 
by the publishing house, which for its part would take care of marketing 
and distribution, as well as essential scholarly services such as peer 
review. Digital scholarly editions, on the other hand, tend to be 
self-published by scholars within their own universities, most often 
without any connection with a publishing house – an arrangement which 
is hardly sustainable, for various reasons, and often not available to 
younger researchers producing their first editions and without access to 
suitable funding. At the same time, publishers are increasingly engaging 
with the digital, in particular in connection with tablet distribution. 
But the majority of such eBooks are generally not up to the standards 
expected by the scholarly community: in many ePubs, for instance, basic 
features such as footnotes are a luxury – to say nothing of a proper 
critical apparatus. How can be we best address these issues, to the 
mutual benefit of all involved parties – editors, publishers and the 
scholarly public?
