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)

NEW call for papers: 'Peripheries'

This themed issue invites contributions that use computational methods to study peripheries, not only in relation to dominant centers, but as spaces, positions, and perspectives in their own right. 

We welcome work that examines peripheral positions defined by geography, social status, cultural influence, institutional access, linguistic marginalization, or other forms of exclusion. We are particularly interested in scholarship that reflects critically on how computational methods can help trace, recover, or reconsider what has been placed – or has emerged – at the margins, as well as work that interrogates how these methods might inadvertently reinforce hierarchies (Piper et al. 2024).

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.
