abstract

This chapter argues that the publication and dissemination of digital scholarship relies upon three critical forms of infrastructure: scholarly, social, and technical. Scholarly infrastructure impacts the design choices made in the production of screen-based scholarly works; social infrastructure has to be developed to increase to value and acceptance of such work; and technological infrastructure is needed to ensure sustainability and accessibility of digital scholarship. Drawing on their many years of experience as editors of a digital journal devoted to publishing digital media scholarship, the authors of this chapter examine an NEH-funded digital humanities project they worked on to better the scholarly, social, and technical infrastructures of Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy.
