On Thursday, 7 May 2026, from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. (CEST) our guests will be: Anne Baillot and Françoise Gouzi (DARIAH-EU) with: DARIAH Overlay Journal Transformations.

Transformations: A DARIAH Journal is a Diamond Open Access venue publishing contributions focussed on digital approaches in the arts and humanities. One key originality is the programmatic interest for methods and research processes over sole results. The journal is backed by an Open Peer Review Framework that provides authors and reviewers an ethical and transparent set of evaluation criteria for a variety of article formats such as data papers, workflows papers and training materials.

Please note: To address an international audience, the event will be held in English. The session will not be recorded.
