        Subject: RIDE 21 published: Special issue on Crowd Editions

Dear colleagues,

RIDE 21: Special issue on /Crowd Editions/, has now been published:

https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/

This special issue explores participatory approaches in digital
scholarly editing and cultural heritage research, focusing on the
relationships between crowdsourcing, citizen science, expertise, and
editorial workflows. The issue examines how collaborative editorial
practices are transforming scholarly editing, archival work, and digital
knowledge production.

The volume includes reviews and discussions of a broad range of projects
and infrastructures:

  * Christian Erlinger reviews /crowdsourcing.wien/and its participatory
    approaches to historical source material:
    https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/crowdsourcingwien/
  * Sarah Lang examines /The Making and Knowing Project/and the role of
    collective and tacit knowledge in digital scholarship:
    https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/makingandknowing/
  * Janosch Förster discusses /What’s on the Menu/, including its
    significance as a crowdsourcing project and its recent
    discontinuation: https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/whatsonthemenu/
  * Lavinia Ferretti and Elisa Nury review the /Papyrological Editor/as
    a platform-based infrastructure for distributed scholarly expertise:
    https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/papyrieditor/
  * Daniel Burckhardt discusses /#everynamecounts/and its transformation
    from expert platform to citizen science initiative:
    https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/everynamecounts/

The editorial further reflects on the historical development of crowd
editing, the role of “accidental editors,” and the changing relationship
between human collaboration and automated methods such as OCR, HTR, and
generative AI: https://ride.i-d-e.de/issues/issue-21/editorial/

All contributions are individually citable via DOI, as is the issue as a
whole:
