The article (𝘍𝘦)𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 has won the prestigious Richard Deswarte Prize in Digital History. A collaboration between BMGN – Low Countries Historical Review and Openjournals made it possible to publish this article in a ‘multi-layered’ format. This allows for a fold-out methodological explanation and brings data visualizations to life interactively.
The research delves into the possible differences between so-called ‘lottery rhymes’ written by men and women. We congratulate Marly Terwisscha van Scheltinga, Sara Budts, and Jeroen Puttevils of the University of Antwerp on this recognition of their hard work.
According to the chair of the jury, Peter Webster, it was particularly admirable how the research reopened a long-known source. By using an AI language model, the researchers overcame linguistic obstacles and designed their research in an innovative way.
Multi-layered publishing is particularly useful in the case of complex methodological innovation, as it can nuance the working method and make it more transparent.
