As richly mediated and computationally enabled scholarship—frequently but not exclusively under the banner of the digital humanities—struggles to gain acceptance in higher education, what standards, values, and best practices can ensure the rigor of emerging scholarly modes? Building on their work as coeditors of the online journal Vectors, the authors put forward requirements that are essential to the future of emerging scholarship: respect for experimentation and emerging genres, appreciation for transdisciplinary and collaborative work, the updating of models of citation and peer review, rewards for openness and contribution to a public commons, and valuing the development of tools and infrastructure. The article concludes with the scholarly resource Critical Commons as a provocative example of the movement toward researching in public.

The essay focuses on two recent graphic narratives that consider archives both thematically and formally: Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home, a memoir, and Joe Sacco’s Footnotes in Gaza, a work of comics journalism. Fun Home meditates on and incorporates a family archive, suggesting the author’s embodied relation to her family history through her redrawing of paper archives. Footnotes in Gaza, an investigation of two 1956 massacres in Palestine, visually materializes a previously unarchived set of oral testimonies from survivors of each event. Both works show how experiments with space and time—including diagramming a life on the page and overlaying past and present moments, along with comics’ intense focus on locating bodies in space—allow the form to urgently address itself to the project of narrating lives.

This essay offers a set of preconditions for the evaluation of digital projects and argues that fair and full acknowledgment of the work of others (including non–faculty members and alternative academic contributors) will contribute to a scholarly communications ecosystem in which new work in the humanities is better fostered, designed, distributed, and preserved.

Where there is a conversation around evaluation in a department, both hires and evaluators are more likely to come to consensus as to what is appropriate digital research and how it should be documented.
