RIDE | A Review Journal for Scholarly Digital Editions and Resources

Thanks to a generous contribution of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Graz, RIDE is pleased to announce the recipients of the third RIDE AWARD, worth 250 €, for the best review article published in RIDE.

The prize committee – Peter Stadler (Universität Paderborn), Franz Fischer (Universität zu Köln), Roman Bleier (Universität Graz) and Philipp Steinkrüger (Ruhr-Universität Bochum) – has decided to award the prize to Susanne Haaf (Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften) for her outstanding review of the German section of Wikisource, published in issue 8 of RIDE.

The committee was especially impressed by Haaf’s familiarity with the material, which is evidenced in her review by meticulous attention to detail. Haaf’s overview and description of the project condenses the complexity of the material and organizing system in an exemplary way and allows the reader to readily comprehend the underlying ideas. This general picture is enriched by a closer inspection of several key aspects, such as Wikisource’s way of handling metadata, or the benefits and snares of a community edition. Finally, the pertinent and concise criticism Haaf provides, and the suggestions for improvement that accompany these criticisms underline the review’s excellence. As such, the committee entertains the hope that Haaf’s text will help to communicate the importance of reviewing to the scientific community.
