Digital Humanities crosses the boundaries between computer science and humanities disciplines such as cultural anthropology, archaeology, classics, English, history, modern languages and literatures, library science, and the arts. The emphasis is on humanities as a whole rather than specific disciplines; however some scholarship is more pertinent to specific discliplines than others. Where it comes closest to computer science is in the development of scholarly tools. Largely, however, the emphasis is on the humanities, and faculty may be engaged in creating new approaches to understanding the humanities through technological means.[1] Faculty engaged in digital humanities scholarship need to be evaluated rigorously and fairly. This document strives to provide a resource which outlines criteria for evaluating dossiers in this scholarly area.
