Reviews in Digital Humanities is a pilot of a peer-reviewed journal that facilitates scholarly evaluation of digital humanities work and its outputs. This may include, but is not limited to: digital archives, multimedia or multimodal scholarship, digital exhibits, visualizations, digital games, digital tools, and digital projects. The journal is hosted by PubPub. The journal responds to the challenge of the growth of the number and scale of digital projects outpacing review opportunities in existing journals. As such, it intervenes by bridging a gap in the evaluation of digital projects by arranging for peer review of digital scholarship. Project creators can submit their projects for review.
RDH publishes monthly issues with an average of 5 reviews per issue.
It also contains a registry of projects, some of which have not yet been reviewed.
As of June 2022, Reviews in Digital Humanities has more than 76,800 page views, with 17,350+ unique users from 124 countries. Among fields of study for the projects we have reviewed, 30% of projects are in African diaspora studies, 21% are in Latinx studies, 9% are in Global Indigenous studies, and 19% are in Queer studies. The remaining 21% come from a variety of fields.
