At WPI, we define “digital scholarship” as including activities across the life cycle of scholarship and project work: from assembling digital evidence, to using digital inquiry and analysis methods, to digital authoring and publishing, to digital use and re-use of the scholarship of others. We also embrace an understanding of “digital scholarship” as transformative scholarly practices that are open and networked, as well as digital.
You can learn more about the FLOAT Method in The Data Notebook (Ossom-Williamson & Ramsby, 2022). FLOAT stands for Formulate a good research question, Locate a sustainable data source, Organize your data source, Analyze your data source, and Tell a data-driven story.
