Calls for stand-alone papers, themed issue papers, and themed issue proposals

Computational Humanities Research (CHR) seeks papers that spotlight quantitative and computational methods and applications, including the practical use and impact of computational techniques in humanities research. You may submit:

• Stand-alone papers via ScholarOne
• Papers as part of a themed issue (see below)
• Proposals for entire themed issues (see below)

Reproducibility and Replicability

Reproducibility and replicability are increasingly emphasised across disciplines, but their role in the humanities remains contested, with ongoing debates highlighting both philosophical and technical challenges. Computational Humanities faces particular difficulties due to non-deterministic algorithms, evolving datasets, and the unpredictability of large language models, raising questions about whether reproducibility is even desirable in interpretive fields. This CHR themed issue seeks contributions that address these complexities, offering theoretical, methodological, and case study perspectives on making research more verifiable, explainable, and sustainable. Learn more and submit your research via the Call for Papers page.

Computational Approaches to Art

This themed issue aims to explore the ways in which advanced computational techniques are reshaping the methodologies, research questions, and epistemic frameworks within the fields of art history and related disciplines. This issue seeks to highlight how computational humanities contribute to our understanding of art across periods, geographies, and media, and we also welcome work that demonstrates the limits of computational approaches. Learn more and submit your research via the Call for Papers page.

Call for themed issue proposals

We invite proposals for guest-edited themed issues that advance the field of computational humanities through innovative and rigorous research. Learn more and submit your proposal via the Call for Proposals page.
