Publishing

Advancing Scholarly Expression

We digitally publish a wide selection of scholarship in collaboration with faculty members and graduate students. We also offer consultations on digital publishing solutions.

Our broad definition of digital publishing includes projects such as:

  • Launching an online regional research network
  • Sharing open-access sustainable models for scholarly journals
  • Building an innovative open access digital version of a scholarly monograph
  • Creating an open source tour app for laptops and mobile devices
  • Applying an open source annotation tool to scholarly editions
  • Designing exhibition maps with GIS
  • Deploying research data as a database with an interactive API
  • Visualizing networks of a literary formation
  • Preparing an online art exhibition catalog
  • Developing an interactive 3D visualization of historical cities

We support and consult on innovative digital approaches to traditional publishing genres such as books, journals, and scholarly editions, and work with scholars on new forms of digital publishing such as thematic research collections, expansive digital projects, and more.

Our training center, developed in partnership with the Laney Graduate School, provides students with project and process management experience as well as digital publishing skills that enhance their professional portfolios.

We also support Emory’s Digital Publishing in the Humanities initiative, developed in partnership with Emory College of Arts and Sciences and the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry. We deploy best practices to ensure the accessibility of our digital publishing projects and offer consultations on accessibility considerations for those interested in digital publishing. 

Publishing Projects

Atlanta Studies

Built in WordPress, Atlanta Studies is an open-access, multimedia web-based journal designed and published by the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship, on behalf of the Atlanta Studies Network. Atlanta Studies features innovative scholarship that takes advantage of the internet’s capabilities to deliver audio, video, images, text, and data to facilitate new ways of organizing and presenting research.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

In this online exhibition catalog, built in the online platform Manifold, Dorothy Moye presents and comments upon the textile art of Gwendolyn Ann Magee (1943–2011). This catalog accompanies the exhibition at the Gatewood Gallery of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (September 11–November 8, 2014). Magee’s extraordinary work includes a series of vivid, often harrowing, narrative quilts based on James Weldon Johnson’s anthem “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

Through a Glass, Darkly

Built in the online platform Manifold, Through a Glass, Darkly: Allegory & Faith in Netherlandish Prints from Lucas van Leyden to Rembrandt is the first major exhibition to systematically consider the form, function, and meaning of allegorical prints produced in the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries, and serves as the basis for an illustrated catalogue produced by curators Walter S. Melion, Asa Candler Griggs Professor of Art History and director of the Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Emory University, and James Clifton, director of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation and curator of Renaissance and Baroque painting at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
