9. Digital Scholarship
Weller (2011: 43) used the term to refer to “a
range of scholarly activities afforded by new
technologies”.
However, the most significant changes in scholarly
practices are “driven not just by their digital nature
but by the convergence of the three characteristics
of digital, networked and open.” Weller (2011).

categorise digital scholarship
