What is Digital Scholarship?

Digital Scholarship is an umbrella term used to define a set of functions and services offered to enable newer forms of scholarship in universities and other research enabling institutions. This is often within the digital arena and can encompass: library-focused research support, open access, digital repositories, digital exhibitions, project management, digital publishing, metadata, impact, discovery, digital preservation, identifiers, copyright, data management, and research metrics. It can also include other activities such as interface design, visualisation, text analysis, encoding, statistical analysis, database development, 3d modeling, and the creation of software for scholarship. This list and the term Digital Scholarship is fluid.
