1. Call for Papers and Submission Process
Do I need to submit a full paper for DH2027?
No full-length article is required at the initial submission stage. For all submission formats, please submit a PDF proposal of the appropriate length. Please consult the CfP for all possible formats.
What should my proposal contain?
Proposals should provide a concise but sufficiently complete account of the work to allow reviewers to assess its scholarly contribution. All submission types should include a literature review, with citations and references, situating the work within its relevant disciplinary context. Long-paper proposals should report sufficiently developed research to present substantial findings and their scholarly significance. Work whose outcomes are still anticipated may be better suited to a short paper or poster. Workshop proposals should also include an agenda addressing learning outcomes, the target audience and instructor expertise.
Is there a required citation or reference style?
DH2027 does not prescribe a single citation style for proposals. Authors may use the citation and reference style most appropriate to their field, provided it is used consistently.
Are references included in the word limit?
No. References and the contents of tables do not count towards the word limit. Captions do count. Additional tables or figures may be included in an appendix.
Does an AI disclosure statement count towards the word limit?
No. Authors must disclose any use of generative AI in conducting the research or preparing the submission, but the disclosure statement does not count towards the proposal word limit.
Do I need to anonymise my submission?
No. DH2027 uses an open review process. Authors’ identities will be visible to reviewers and reviewers’ identities will be disclosed to submitters. You therefore do not need to remove identifying information from your proposal.
What language should I use for my proposal and presentation?
Proposals should be submitted and presentations delivered in English, in order to support adequate peer review and mutual understanding across the conference community.
Is there a limit on how many proposals I may submit or present?
There is no limit on the number of proposals an individual may submit for review or on co-authorship. However, once decisions have been made, an individual should normally be the presenting author of no more than one accepted contribution in each format: one paper (long or short), one poster, and one workshop or mini-conference. If, for example, two papers involving the same author are accepted, another co-author should normally present the second paper. Exceptions may be made where no other co-author is able to present the accepted work. SIG contributions are not included in this limit.
Does the presentation limit apply at the submission stage?
No. The limit applies to accepted presentations, not to proposals submitted for review. Authors may therefore submit more than one paper proposal. If more than one is accepted, the presenting-author arrangements can be adjusted after the review process.
Does the presentation limit apply to co-authorship?
No. Authors may be listed as co-authors on additional accepted submissions. The restriction concerns who serves as the presenting author.
What is the Technical Track?
Authors may designate a proposal for the Technical Track if the work focuses particularly on the development, sustainability or reuse of software and infrastructure for digital humanities research or the DH community.
What is the Digital Art(s) Track?
Authors may designate a proposal for the Digital Art(s) Track if it focuses on the creation, study or critical reflection on digital art and its forms, histories, communities, technologies or modes of production and experience. This may include performances, installations, interactive or generative work, data-driven art, critical making, AI-mediated collaboration, speculative design and other forms of creative engagement with digital humanities infrastructures, datasets and platforms.
What are the reviewing guidelines for proposals submitted under the new Digital Arts track?
Please consult the DH2027 – Digital_Arts_Track_Evaluation_Criteria document for the full set of reviewing guidelines.
Are the Technical Track and Digital Art(s) Track separate submission formats?
No. They are special-track designations. Authors still submit their work in one of the relevant DH2027 submission formats and may designate the proposal for a special track where appropriate.
What is the difference between a long paper and a short paper?
Long papers are intended for substantial and sufficiently developed research, significant new methodologies or digital resources and rigorous theoretical, speculative or critical work. Presentations are typically 20 minutes. Short papers are particularly appropriate for experiments, work in progress, exploratory research and newly conceived tools or software at an earlier stage of development. Presentations are typically 10 minutes.
How will accepted submissions be published?
Accepted long papers will be published in a separate proceedings volume in the Anthology of Computers and the Humanities. Short papers, posters, workshops and mini-conferences will be published in the established Book of Abstracts format.
Can I participate in DH2027 online?
DH2027 is planned as a partly hybrid conference. Accepted authors will be asked whether they prefer to participate in person or online so that this can be taken into account in scheduling.
