Digital Scholarship Services (DiScho) supports and collaborates with Princeton University researchers navigating digital skills, tools, and methods needed to create digital scholarship projects. Whether you’re beginning to think about a project idea or have hit a roadblock for a project already underway, DiScho can help you select tools, gain skill sets, and plan the full lifecycle for your digital project from conception to publication. Schedule a Consultation DiScho Specialists are available to meet to give advice and support for digital projects, research, and methods. Meetings can cover a variety of topics, such as conceptualizing a project or research question, choosing the right digital tool or framework, seeking training, troubleshooting technical obstacles, and project management.Schedule a Consultation Areas of Focus The DiScho team offers regular workshops and consultations on popular digital scholarship tools and considerations. We can help you think through your project generally, and we also have specific expertise in the following areas: Programming languages like PythonText Analysis3D Imaging Data CleaningWorking with APIsDigital Exhibitions Mapping and timelinesResearch Websites Build a project roadmap The use of digital tools and methods can have important implications for how you manage, share, and preserve your scholarship; the selection of a tool, structure of your dataset, or use of file format can have important implications on the success and longevity of your project. Work with DiScho to identify the components or milestones for your research and develop a roadmap to meet the unique goals of your project. Select the right digital tool There has been a proliferation of digital tools to support research and scholarship projects in recent years, and it can be confusing to weigh the pros and cons of selecting one tool over another. For example, there may be a disciplinary or industry standard you want to consider. Alternatively, you may need to work with a tool that is free or supported by Princeton University licenses. DiScho can help you identify a variety of tools that meet your academic and scholarship goals and identify resources across and outside of Princeton to find access. Create and structure datasets Digital projects often rely on underlying datasets that you need to assemble and clean yourself. DiScho can help you assess and work with APIs, digitization, web scraping and other techniques to collect data from a variety of sources. We can also help you think about ways to clean and structure your dataset for further analysis, visualization, and publication. Present and share your research Unlike traditional print forms, digital scholarship and tools enable you to work on a larger scale, consider your research in new ways, and reach broader audiences. DiScho can help you think about the best way to identify your audience, anticipate ethical or legal concerns your project raises, and publish your research in compelling and interactive ways.
