Bringing together the best scholarship from across the web, producing vital, open publications scholarly communities can gather around.

PressForward will launch with five publications, with many more to come in the years ahead. (Interested scholarly communities and potential editors should contact us.) These publications will span the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, using a flexible, open platform that allows for different forms of peer review and dissemination.

 


Digital Humanities Now
takes the pulse of the digital humanities community, discerning which articles, blog posts, projects, tools, collections, and announcements are worthy of greater attention. DHNow highlights the best scholarship—in whatever form—that drives the field of digital humanities forward (edited by Dan Cohen and Joan Fragaszy Troyano).

 

Journal of Digital Humanities
The Journal of Digital Humanities
(ISSN 2165-6673) is a comprehensive, peer-reviewed, open access journal that features the best scholarship, tools, and conversations produced by the DH community in the previous quarter. The Journal provides three additional layers of evaluation, review, and editing to the pieces initially identified by DHNow (edited by Dan Cohen and Joan Fragaszy Troyano).

 


Global Perspectives on Digital History
provides a platform for the increasingly international, multi-lingual work of digital history to be shared, discussed, and used across national boundaries, allowing digital historians to submit, translate, curate, and comment upon new scholarship together (edited by Mills Kelly, Peter Haber, and Jan Hodel).

 

Proceedings of THATCamp will provide a home for the currently decentralized outpouring of scholarly production—including blog posts, collaborative documents, and practical guides—spawned by more than 1000 scholars in more than 40 THATCamp “unconferences” worldwide (edited by Tom Scheinfeldt and Amanda French) — Coming Soon.

 

American History Now will offer professional historians and serious practitioners a new format for historical scholarship, one rooted in the traditions of the profession—its standards, its criteria for evidence and citation and reasoned argument—but adapted to the possibilities of the online environment (edited by Mike O’Malley) — Coming Soon.

 

Data Curation Now will identify and disseminate the “gray literature” of white papers, project reports, and online writings that are so important to the field of digital libraries, providing a new publication model for emerging, practice-oriented fields (edited by Rachel Frick) — Coming Soon.

 

Forthcoming in 2012

This cross-disciplinary work involves modern demographic data visualization, enhanced geo-referenced data availability, and spatial statistics, facilitated through full color graphics, motion video tools, and a quick time-to-publication (edited by Frank M. Howell and Jeremy Porter) — Coming Soon.
