RIDE is an open access review journal dedicated to digital editions and resources.

RIDE directs attention to digital editions and other digital scholarly resources by providing a forum in which expert peers criticise and discuss the resources in order to improve current practices and advance future developments. RIDE encourages the reviewers to pay attention not only to the traditional virtues and vices of humanities publications, but also to the progressing methodology and its technical implications. Read more about RIDE in our editorial.

RIDE was founded in 2014 by a team of scholars united under the roof of the Institute of Documentology and Scholarly Editing (see also our team-page).

Issue 17 (pt. 1) is out! 2 brand-new reviews on Digital Scholarly Editions and the application of the FAIR principles, edited by Tessa Gengnagel, Frederike Neuber, and Daniela Schulz which were prepared in the context of the consortium Text+ of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). The ToC is here! The issue is published as "rolling release"; 3 more reviews will follow in the next months. For more information on this type of issue see also the editorial of issue 16 for more information on this special issue.

We would also like to direct your attention to our Peer-Reviewers page. Without the efforts of our Peer-Reviewers, RIDE would not be what it is.

NEW! In collaboration with the IDE, the Text+ consortium of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) invites authors to submit reviews of digital scholarly editions for the journal RIDE.

RIDE is constantly calling for reviews on digital scholarly editions, digital text collections and digital tools and environments for digital scholarly editing.
