Recognizing the importance of peer review in digital scholarship, the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln is addressing this matter in various ways: •• by creating a cultural climate on campus that provides for rigorous assessment of digital humanities work and gives confidence to junior scholars that strong scholarship in this field will be rewarded; •• by creating some of the necessary peer-review mechanisms still underdeveloped in the field at large through the creation of the Nebraska Digital Workshop (an annual event, providing extensive critiques and showcasing the most distinguished work in digital humanities by early-career scholars); • •by devising guidelines for the assessment of digital scholarship meant to be useful broadly within the academy; •• and by the involvement of several faculty members in Nines, a peer-reviewing body for digital work in the long 19th century.
