The first issue (https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-11/) of RIDE dedicated to Tools and Environments was published in January 2020. Reviews for the second issue will be accepted until the 30^st of September 2021. To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a structure for the evaluation, we provide Criteria for Reviewing Digital Tools and Environments for DSE that are supposed to be applicable to various types of resources. The guidelines (Version 1.0) can be found here (https://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-tools-version-1/. We kindly ask you to email us before start reviewing a tool at ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de with a suggestion of which resource you would like to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area of expertise. This is important in order to avoid multiple reviews of the same tool. Background In the introduction to his book /Software takes command /(Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013) Lev Manovich states that “software has become our interface to the world, to others, to our memory and our imagination”. Is the same happening in the world of digital scholarly editing? Certainly we cannot ignore their fundamental role in our daily scholarly practices and in the interactions with our objects of study. Insofar as tools shape scholarly editions, they also shape scholarly editing. A new RIDE issue is devoted to tools for digital scholarly editing. The aim of this issue is to: * contribute to the discussion about tooling in Digital Humanities, * bring to the forefront the instruments instead of the final products, * provide a venue for discussing best practices in the development and usage of tools, * list useful resources for all those involved in scholarly editing. Beyond that, we hope that the critical examination of digital tools draws greater attention to the (scholarly) achievements that their creation and maintenance imply. The journal /RIDE/ was founded in 2014 to “provide a forum in which expert peers criticise and discuss the efforts of digital editors in order to improve current practices and advance future developments” (RIDE Editorial). RIDE is Open Access, reviews are published as HTML and downloadable as TEI. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. The special issue on Digital Tools and Environments for DSE will be edited by Anna-Maria Sichani (University of Sussex) and Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne). Submission details Reviews are accepted in English, French, Italian, and Spanish. The length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource offers that is worthy of discussion (approximately 2000-5000 words). Please submit your review at *ride-tools (at) i-d-e.de as an editable text file (preferably, but not necessarily docx to facilitate the conversion to TEI). Please send illustrations as separate image files (jpg or png) and leave a note in the text as a placeholder for each image. In addition to the text, we collect keywords. Each review should be accompanied by a short abstract in English, independently of the language used in the main text. For further information please check the general RIDE guidelines for writing and submitting (http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/writing-and-submitting/). The questionnaire mentioned in the submission checklist has been designed for scholarly digital editions so far. We will keep you informed about how to proceed with the questionnaire for this special issue. All reviews will be peer reviewed in order to reach a high quality level of the evaluations. We believe that this is important because the evaluation of digital scholarly resources usually requires a double expertise in digital methods as well as in individual disciplines. This is also to increase the credit for reviews.

Scenes are time-, location- and plot-wise coherent units of a story, and can predominantly be found in narrative texts like novels or biographies. Scene segmentation is needed for a high-level content analysis of longer texts, but also for many subsequent tasks for NLP applied in longer narrative texts, since even modern methods struggle with processing text longer than a couple of sentences or paragraphs. All the details can be found here: http://go.uniwue.de/stss2021. The shared task is co-located with KONVENS 2021: https://konvens2021.phil.hhu.de ## Important Dates June 7, 2021: Registration Deadline June 30, 2021: Start of final evaluation July 7, 2021: End of final evaluation July 15, 2021: Paper submission due August 10, 2021: Camera ready due September 6-9, 2021: KONVENS conference ## Contact stss2021@informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de ## Organizers Albin Zehe, University of Würzburg Leonard Konle, University of Würzburg Lea Dümpelmann, University of Heidelberg Evelyn Gius, Technical University of Darmstadt Svenja Guhr, Technical University of Darmstadt Andreas Hotho, University of Würzburg Fotis Jannidis, University of Würzburg Lucas Kaufmann, University of Würzburg Markus Krug, University of Würzburg Frank Puppe, University of Würzburg Nils Reiter, University of Cologne Annekea Schreiber, TU Darmstadt _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://dhhumanist.org/Restricted List posts to: humanist@dhhumanist.org List info and archives at at: http://dhhumanist.org Listmember interface at: http://dhhumanist.org/Restricted/ Subscribe at: http://dhhumanist.org/membership_form.php
