The purpose of this meeting is to showcase and discuss recent work by DiMPO WG and related initiatives to study digitally-enabled scholarly practices through the application of qualitative research methods, including the DH meta-research methodological approach developed by DiMPO members in the context of the Digital Humanities Work in Focus (DH-FOCUS) DARIAH CIO grant last year. Additional discipline-specific initiatives conducted either within trans-European COST networks or initiated by researchers in countries such as Finland and Switzerland will also be presented.

The meeting is open to everyone interested to learn more on scholarly practices research for the DH community, and to find how they can be part of a coordinated multicase studies project planned for the forthcoming period by DiMPO WG. Colleagues who wish to present their work on qualitative research on scholarly practices in the arts and humanities, including but not limited to interviewing, case studies and ethnographic inquiry, are warmly invited to contact the session organizers, Costis Dallas (c.dallas@dcu.gr) and/or Maciej Maryl (maciej.maryl@ibl.waw.pl) with a short message introducing their proposed topic.
