We welcome source code, algorithms, program ideas (program code, code snippets), raw and structured datasets, data visualisations and associated files that are relevant to the field of digital humanities research. Please use standards appropriate to the field. (For more information on this section, click here.)

Submissions will be reviewed by two anonymous referees, who will receive anonymized papers. To aid double-blind reviewing, please do not include the author's name and exact institutional affiliation in the text of the paper (in the submitted file). Reviews will be returned to the authors without the name of the referee. In the case of two positive reviews, the paper will be published (with any modifications deemed necessary), whereas in the case of two negative reviews, the paper will not be published, and in the case of one negative and one positive review, the editorial board will decide whether to accept or reject the paper.

Length of articles in the various sections

Please respect the following limits:

Papers section: max. 10,000 words

Digital methods, tools, and projects section: max. 5,000 words

Reviews section: max. 2,000 words

Text structuring, highlighting

The method of structuring papers is to use an Arabic numeral at the beginning of the paragraph opening the section: 1, 2, etc. Subsections are numbered in decimal form (1.1, 1.1.1, etc.).

Use italics to indicate titles. The names of authors (and others) who have expressed a scientific opinion are not highlighted in the main text or in the references. The titles of papers are in quotation marks, not italics.

Annotation

In Digital Humanities/Digitális Bölcsészet, the headings (notes, references, bibliographies, etc.) of cited texts and bibliographic items should be prepared according to the Full note version of the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition (Chicago: University of Chicago, 2010). Until our own stylesheet has been introduced, we recommend using the Chicago style file for formatting (download: Zotero, EndNote), but please make sure that the document is set to English in the reference manager. For authors who do not use reference management software, we recommend localizing the Institute of Literary Studies (with the exception of small-caps highlighting).

In accordance with the Chicago Full note standard, references should be footnoted. Papers intended for the Reviews section are an exception to this rule: references (page numbers or paragraph numbers) to the book or website reviewed should be indicated in parentheses in the main text. In addition, footnote references may be placed where appropriate.

Bibliographic items cited in the article should also be uploaded as attachments in RIS or BibTeX format, using Zotero or EndNote for this purpose. Please remove the field codes from the footnotes of the article before submission. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Articles published in the journal are assigned a unique DOI identifier as part of the CrossRef service. In order to fulfil the cross-linking obligation, please assist our work by finding the DOI identifier of the cited literature, if available, and including it in a footnote. CrossRef's Simple Text Query service will help you to do this.

Any comments on the preparation of the manuscript will be included in a footnote asterisked to the title, such as the name of the institutions that funded the research, grant support, and acknowledgements. As double-blind refereeing is provided for the Papers and Digital methods, tools, and projects sections, please include these in the Comments section when uploading the manuscript, and not in the document itself.

Figures and special characters

Authors who include figures, tables, example sentences, etc. in their manuscripts that require special layout are kindly requested to send their manuscripts to the editorial office in PDF format also. In case of image figures, please include the original high-resolution images (min. 150 dpi, TIFF or PNG format) in a separate file. If the manuscript contains individual characters other than the default font, please include the character set.

Captions and tables are uniformly named Figure 1. Title ; Figure 2 Title etc. Table 1. Title ; Table 2. Title etc.

Source code

If you include data series and/or source code in your paper, please include them as separate file when uploading, if possible. These will be made available as appendices to the study when it is published.
