Call for Papers : Information Integrity and the Digital Humanities
Call for Papers : Information Integrity and the Digital Humanities
To be jointly edited by Ricardo Pimenta, Ariel Morán, and Geoffrey Rockwell
The integrity of information has become an important issue as large language models like
ChatGPT are being used to generate misinformation and bad actors continue to generate
disinformation. The accuracy, consistency, and authenticity of information is an issue humanists
have dealt with for centuries. Nowadays, however, these challenges seem more urgent as the
volume and speed with which misinformation and disinformation can be generated are
unprecedented.
The sciences, social sciences and humanities have different approaches to mis/disinformation
and the challenges of scale and speed brought on by artificial intelligence. We are all
experimenting with new methods and having to rethink the nature of information and knowledge.
For this issue we invite reflections on how the digital humanities has or can tackle issues around
integrity, accuracy, truth and truthiness, authorship and authority.
To this end, we invite submissions from any discipline and methodology that address the topics
listed below, including, but not limited to:
• Digital humanities projects and practices that address information integrity, accuracy,
consistency, maintenance etc.
• Information ethics, understood broadly, and the digital humanities.
• Ethical perspectives on digital humanities information work.
• Ethical perspectives in information studies.
• Public and democratic access to information.
• Possible research directions for the digital humanities on mis/disinformation.
• Critical thinking, digital humanities, integrity of information and the production of knowledge.
• Case studies in information integrity.
• Research data in the humanities and its challenges from the perspective of ethics and integrity
• The integrity of information and knowledge, open access and digital humanities: an overview of
challenges and advances.
• Freedom of expression, privacy, and data ethics.
