I am thrilled to announce that for the next eighteen months, I’ll be joining the fantastic crew at the Scholarly Communication Institute! I’m honored to join Bethany Nowviskie and her team on the current phase of SCI’s work: namely, assessing and rethinking methodological training in the humanities; helping to work on the framework of the stellar Praxis Program at the Scholars’ Lab; and contributing to the continued development of new-model scholarly publications. (For a fuller description, including more detail on the organizations we’ll be working with, see this Scholars’ Lab post.)
This new step marks an exciting transition for me. Over the past year, I’ve worked closely with Josh Greenberg to develop the Sloan Foundation’s budding Digital Information Technology program. In doing so, I’ve gotten to meet extraordinary people working on innovative projects related changes in scholarly communication in the digital age. In my new position with SCI, I’ll be focusing on a number of the same questions, but from a perspective grounded in the humanities. I’m also looking forward to working more deeply on #alt-ac issues, which I deeply care about (as these two posts reveal).
It will be an intense 18 months that I’m sure will be over too quickly. I can’t wait to dive in!

Many congratulations, Katina! I look forward to hearing everything you and the Scholar’s Lab learn on this project.
Congratulations, Katina! All best on the point, and hope we get to meet you soon. Will look forward to hearing how your efforts develop!
Congrats, Katina, and best wishes on your work! Hope we all get to meet you soon, if you make it to Charlottesville this spring, and look forward to seeing how SCI develops.
Thanks so much! I’ll be in Charlottesville in just over a week–look forward to meeting you then.
Dear Ms. Rogers,
I write to thank you for this very helpful expression of a tension I have sensed as I acquaint myself with the new insurgency of the so-called “digital humanities.”
As you may know, I’ve recently embarked on an analysis of the movement in my New York Times column (not to say, blog) and the fourth essay in the series — http://bit.ly/H4Suf4 — makes reference to the work you will be undertaking as part of the Scholarly Communication Institute. It offers, I’m afraid, a bit of a pre-emptive challenge to the conclusions I fear you are being set up to draw.
Sincerely,
Stanley Fish
