Abstract

The DARIAH Working Group on Research Data Management is a place where researchers, RDM and GLAM professionals have come together since 2020. On the basis of this interdisciplinary and international collaboration, we reflect in the poster on the role, formats and workflows of data publications to foster participatory science. The poster is composed of four parts: Andrea Farina: Data Papers as Catalysts for Participatory Humanities Research. Insights from the Journal of Open Humanities Data; Ulrike Wuttke: Innovations in Science Communication related to data publications to invite and accommodate participation beyond academia; Alessia Spadi: Editorial workflows for open, accessible, and community-driven research sharing; Beth Knazook and Joan Murphy: Engagement for Sustainability - The Research Sustainability Workflow for the Humanities.
