    African scholarly research is relatively invisible globally because even though research production on the continent is growing in absolute terms, it is falling in comparative terms. In addition, traditional metrics of visibility, such as the Impact... more

    African scholarly research is relatively invisible globally because even though research production on the continent is growing in absolute terms, it is falling in comparative terms. In addition, traditional metrics of visibility, such as the Impact Factor, fail to make legible all African scholarly production. Many African universities also do not take a strategic approach to scholarly communication to broaden the reach of their scholars'work. To address this challenge, the Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme (SCAP) was established to help raise the visibility of African scholarship by mapping current research and communication practices in Southern African universities and by recommending and piloting technical and administrative innovations based on open access dissemination principles. To do this, SCAP conducted extensive research in four faculties at the Universities of Botswana, Cape Town, Mauritius and Namibia.To address this challenge, the Scholarly Communication in Africa Programme (SCAP) was established to help raise the visibility of African scholarship by mapping current research and communication practices in Southern African universities and by recommending and piloting technical and administrative innovations based on open access dissemination principles.

    Introduction to digital humanities / Bryan W. Carter -- The social web / Bryan W. Carter -- Communicating with the world / Bryan W. Carter -- Visualizing the world and engaging the field / Bryan W. Carter -- Archiving and sharing our research / Bryan W. Carter -- Conclusion / Bryan W. Carter The field of Digital Humanities is becoming more exciting as the number of low-cost or free mobile and desktop applications flood the market allowing users to accomplish tasks that only a few years ago were either not possible or required complicated coding or high-end computing power. The range of these applications provides access to digital communications, advanced visualization, data storage and retrieval at unprecedented levels. Digital Humanists are incorporating these tools as part of our teaching, research, and creative expression. This research volume approaches the topic from a perspective that will be attractive to those just beginning, through the step by step guides to set up and use of a variety of tools with accompanying objectives, and to those who are more advanced, through more challenging applications and their use for teaching and research. Furthermore this text will be of interest to administrators or those sceptical about the Digital Humanities, as the essays will highlight studies and research by experts in the field while maintaining the particular perspective on literary studies and Digital Africana Studies. This volume includes an introduction to the Digital Humanities and chapters on The Social Web, Communications, Visualization and Collaboration

    "The term 'writtenness' is used to describe highlight a socio-academic criterion that is often taken-for-granted. The trope 'well written' is widespread but it is rarely very clearly defined and not adequately described by theory. This book redresses that neglect by contextualizing writtenness as a focal issue in the contemporary context of international higher education. The quality of academic writing is often the source of both practical and ethical dilemmas in the academy, while at the same time the social value and productive role of the writing in the communication of knowledge are underestimated. The book interrogates the cultural power and value of writtenness, while also revealing its relative misrepresentation within academic culture at large. The conceptual relevance of writtenness is accentuated in the current geopolitical context of English language dominance, where it is at the hub of both centripetal and centrifugal forces. On the one hand, there is a widespread uniformity in notions of style and accuracy which academic writing is deemed to embody and represent, while on the other, with English as the lingua franca in different academic and geographic contexts globally, and different varieties of English proliferating, writtenness becomes a site of struggle"-- 1. On writtenness : an introductory overview -- 2. On the historical construction of writtenness as an ideological regime -- 3. On the underlying values of writtenness as a transdisciplinary criterion -- 4. On polished prose and its frictions : the contemporary politics of academic style -- 5. On the elite and remedial economy of English in international higher education -- 6. On producing writtenness : misrecognized value, mystical process, misunderstood pedagogies, misaligned roles -- 7. On writtenness and textual trade : ethical boundaries, inequitable assessment and institutional complicity -- 8. On proofreading and its indexicalities : social attitudes, the student experience, textual mobility and print culture in transition -- 9. On written English in flux : disrupting the smooth read.
