Motivation and Background

We published an article describing the motivation and background for starting the Anthology. Please get in touch for more details if you are interested in publishing a conference proceedings in the Anthology.

Information for Workshop/Conference Organizers

Are you hosting a workshop or conference series that would like to publish your peer-reviewed proceedings or other materials in the Anthology of Computers and the Humanities? We are now welcoming proposals from groups looking to publish in the in the anthology. Please reach out to Taylor Arnold (tarnold2@richmond.edu) for more details or with any questions!

Information for Authors

The Anthology accepts papers written in several different formats. We have standard templates for LaTex, Word, or Markdown available from the links below.

Check the CFP for your specific conference to see if there are details (such as prefered formats, length, required sections, anonymity, and the use of appendices) encoding in a conference-specific version of these files. If you are a conference organizer and would like to translate these into another language, please get in touch.

People

Every volume of the Anthology contains proceedings with a single conference or workshop. Editorial tasks related to each volume, including peer-review and acceptance decision, are handeled directly by the program chairs for the conference, who serve as editors of the volume.

The Editor-in-Chief of the Anthology (Taylor Arnold, University of Richmond) is responsible for accepting proposals for volumes and the process of publishing each volume on the website and through CrossRef. They also lead the long-term planning for the publication along with the Anthology's advisory board, consisting of:

• Maria Antoniak, University of Colorado, U.S.A.
• Miguel Escobar Varela, National University of Singapore
• Mila Oiva, University of Turku, Finland
• Marie Puren, EPITA, Paris, France
• Amanda Regan, Clemson University, U.S.A.
• Melanie Walsh, University of Washington, U.S.A.

We also work closely with the Executive Board of our parent organization, the Association for Computers and the Humanities. We will be releasing a full governance document in early September 2025. In the meantime, the best way to get involved is to propose a volume for the Anthology or contribute a paper one of the participating conferences.

Policies and Governance

The Anthology is running according to the governance documents passed by the Executive Board of the Association for the Computers and the Humanities on 28 August 2025. Volumes published in the Anthology are expected to ensure that papers published within them follow these guidelines:

• Conferences and workshops publishing in the Anthology should have open calls for participation, ideally with at least half of the contributions in the volume coming from non-invited participants.
• Papers in the Anthology should be original work that has not been previously published in any archival format.
• Papers published in the Anthology must be peer-reviewed.
• Papers may either be published ahead of the conference or immediately afterwards. Typically, a gap of no more than 6 months should elapse before finalized papers are sent to the Editor.
• Because page numbers (in the PDF) and a table of contents are generated for each volume, all papers from a single volume will be published at the same time.
• Papers and all supplemental materials will be published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY 4.0).
• Papers should not directly include any materials that require a copyright release to publish them under a CC-BY 4.0 license.
• The body of papers published in the Anthology should generally be between 2,500 and 7,500 words. Appendices and other additional materials will be included only in the PDF version of the article.
• Contributions in all languages are welcome. Abstract translations into English are encouraged but not required.
• The volume editors are invited to include an introductory article in the volume. It does not require peer review and will be indexed alongside all other papers in the volume.
• Papers must be submitted in LaTeX, Markdown, or Word format. Papers must adhere to all formatting guidelines outlined in these templates.

The Editor may allow reasonable exceptions to the rules above on a case-by-case basis. Papers may be retracted and removed from the website (or initially rejected) by the Editor when there is substantial evidence of academic misconduct.
