Digging Into Data: “Cascades, islands, or streams? Time, topic, and scholarly activities in humanities and social science research” Our work will analyze the importance of various scholarly activities for creating, sustaining, and propelling new knowledge; Our work will have implications for policy makers, as they seek to identify emergent areas of research. Our work will provide an indicator of the importance of certain communication channels for identifying emerging areas of knowledge. Our work will be useful for scholars because researchers need to be good at predicting trends in research and differentiating between topics and research questions that are appropriate for grants, PhD students, and research projects. Where possible, products will be made available online and we will seek to incorporate the voice of the academic community at all points in our research. http://did.ils.indiana.edu/dh/
Our Goals The goal of this project is to examine the informal and formal communication channels used by the DH community to connect members at the individual, group, and institutional levels. As we’ve moved toward fulfilling this initial goal, we‘ve considered the scholarly metrics from which DH members are judged and the ways in which they earn academic capital. When we think about scholarly metrics, and even alt-metrics, we feel that the article is still prime. Based on our initial analyses of the data and your responses to our survey, we are now exploring the ramifications of the larger ecosystem of scholarly production where knowledge doesn’t necessarily begin or end with the article.

Our Initial Dataset For DH2013, our current data sources consist of: • DHQ Journal : We obtained all of the articles as XML files and used XSLT to harvest author information for each article • LLC Journal : We obtained the LLC article information from ISI Web of Science spanning from 2008 through present and used Sci2 Tool to parse the data • Humanist Listserv : We obtained the Humanist listserv data by downloading Stéfan Sinclair’s pre-2008 XML data and by downloading a copy of the 2008-present ArchTracker Archive from dhhumanist.org. • TEI-L Listserv : We used the LISTSERV 16.0 commands to retrieve both the messages and the subscriber list as emails. • NEH Grants : We obtained the DH-related NEH grants from the IU Scholarly Data Archives (SDA). • Twitter : We’ve started with a list of Twitter handles from the digitalhumanitiesnow.org compendium and we used NodeXL to parse the data to see who the DH people follow and who follows them. • DH Survey : We recently asked you to fill out a survey regarding your information consumption and dissemination practices.

We have identified 19 additional DH-related journals. We are continuing to expand our DH Twitter list. We are going to add additional DH funding sources. We are going to add additional DH-related listservs. We are gathering DH center information. We are gathering DH syllabi We hope to gather DH blog information.
We have created a normalized database with this information and plan to make this information available to everyone. We are also creating a web application in which you will be able to manage your own information within this database. http://did.ils.indiana.edu/dh/
