What does open access mean in relation to the Digital Humanities? There are many answers to this question: digital humanists support open access publishing; digital humanists want to share their data with one another; digital humanists themselves are open, social, and “nice.” Although this last assertion about the openness of DH tends to stick in my craw a bit – as Miriam Posner has pointed out, there are different stakes involved in “being nice” for different people – all of these things are great. It would be “nice” if more humanities scholars and disciplines adopted some of these practices.
