Current Research In Digital History

Current Research in Digital History is an annual open-access, peer-reviewed online publication. Its primary aim is to encourage and publish scholarship in digital history that offers discipline-specific arguments and interpretations. By featuring short essays, it also seeks to provide an opportunity to make arguments on the basis of ongoing research in larger projects.Essays published in CRDH are first presented at an annual one-day conference at George Mason University in Arlington, Virginia. Authors submit their essays in the fall, and then the conference is held in the spring. Each essay goes through two rounds of peer review, first by the conference program committee, and then by the conference commentator. CRDH is published at the end of August, less than a year after essays are submitted.

The platform for CRDH offers the following features in order to effectively publish a range of scholarship:

publication of visualizations, graphics, and narratives
publication of associated data or code in a research compendium
external hosting of content if necessary, provided that authors agree to maintain the content
DOIs and other metadata for all articles
indexing in Google Scholar and other academic databases

CRDH is funded by donations to the RRCHNM Director’s Fund. Members of the program committee, commentators and participants in the conference plenary roundtable are paid small stipends to recognize the time they commit. Four $200 stipends are available to support the participation of presenters who have to travel to the conference. You can donate to support CRDH.
