Previous calls and issues
Volume I
Transformations: A DARIAH Journal is proud to announce the publication of the first set of peer-reviewed articles in its inaugural issue, dedicated to the theme of Workflows. The published articles highlight how diverse research projects—across disciplines and methodologies—are converging around a shared imperative: to make their workflows not only visible, but reusable, reflective, and open.
“As the inaugural volume of Transformations proves, there is an active community of researchers in the humanities and social sciences that strives to foster a culture of workflow reusability” wrote editors Anne Baillot, Françoise Gouzi and Toma Tasovac in their Introduction. “The published articles don’t just describe methodologies—they reflect on how to present them in a replicable way, and why this matters for scholarship at large.”
Volume II
Transformations will soon release its second volume on the theme of “The Past” inspired by the 2025 DARIAH Annual Event held in Göttingen.
