Introducing Transformations: A DARIAH Journal

Abstract
English
Research infrastructures can only thrive if those who contribute to their development receive academic credit for their work. This insight has motivated DARIAH to launch a diamond open-access overlay journal called Transformations as a practical way of reaffirming our commitment to open science, fairer research assessment practices, and the vital but often overlooked infrastructural contributions to scholarly discourse. As an academic journal, Transformations will highlight not only traditional research articles but also less conventional research outputs, such as workflows, datasets, annotations, software tools, training materials-and the complex labour that underpins them. These kinds of commitments are especially important in the age of artificial intelligence, where the speed and scale of digital technologies often challenge the values and methods of humanistic inquiry. If we want to maintain a humanistic voice in scholarship and sift through the deluge of auto-generated noise, we must insist on transparent tooling and a shared consensus on the value of public infrastructures.

L’expansion des infrastructures de recherche est conditionnée à la reconnaissance académique de ceux qui y contribuent. Cette vision a motivé DARIAH à lancer une épirevue (overlay journal) en accès ouvert Diamant appelée Transformations, confirmant ainsi notre engagement en faveur de l’accès ouvert, de pratiques de recherche plus justes et de contributions de l'infrastructure indispensables au discours scientifique mais souvent négligées. En tant que revue académique, Transformations mettra en valeur non seulement des articles scientifiques classiques mais également des résultats de recherche moins conventionnels tels que les “workflows”, jeux de données, notes de recherche, logiciels, supports pédagogiques—ainsi que tout ce qui est lié à leur complexe fabrication. L’ensemble de ces engagements est particulièrement important à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle, où la rapide avancée des technologies numériques peut amener à questionner les valeurs et méthodes de la recherche en Humanités. Si nous voulons porter haut et fort la voix des Humanités dans la recherche et passer au crible le déluge de bruit généré automatiquement, nous devons insister sur la transparence des outils et un consensus partagé sur la valeur des infrastructures publiques.
