Simon Tanner (King’s College, London) authored a post proposing three reasons why the much-debated Research Excellence Framework (REF2014) benefited Digital Humanities scholars:
- The framework recognizes digital humanities research resources
- The framework demonstrates that digital humanities “enhances the research environment”
- The framework shows that digital humanities “has impact”
Tanner ponders whether research excellence can truly be measured, but reiterates that this report acknowledges the rising disciplinary tide of digital humanities.
