Citational Politics: Quantifying Impact In Digital Scholarship In The Humanities., Roopika Risam, Amy Earhart

Digital humanities has made an important intervention in scholarly communication, particularly in the realm of citational practices. For example, it has facilitated quantitative analysis of citations within humanities disciplines, illuminated the citational networks in play, and led to the creation of workflows and tools for interpreting citations (Romanello 2016; Crymble and Flanders 2013; Blaney and Meyer 2013; Nyhan and Duke-Williams 2014). Such analysis has much to offer how we understand the confluence of citation, power, and privilege within academic communities of practice.
