Connecting criticism and scholarliness. The analysis of abstracts of articles about digital scholarly editions on GoTriple platform

My research aims to examine whether there are linking texts in the communication network related to scholarly and critical editions in their digital form and to analyze those connections. This kind of approach was not previously adopted in digital scholarly editing. In Polish editorial communities, the terms "critical" and "scholarly" are often used as synonyms, despite their semantic distinctness (Bem 2016). Hence, it is worth examining how discourses about criticism and scholarship in other editorial communities intersect.

I am conducting this analysis on the content of the GoTriple.eu platform, which serves as a ‘single access point to discover and reuse open scholarly SSH resources’ (The GoTriple platform 2025).

As for the content, I mean: titles and abstracts of journal articles, keywords and vocabulary tags, combined with the degree of closeness centrality and betweenness centrality.

Using a workflow in the form of a Jupyter Notebook connected to the GoTriple API and utilizing aforementioned algorithms, prepared by Cezary Rosiński and Nikodem Wołczuk from IBL PAN, I am searching for dominant texts interlinking all communication areas for queries containing essential terms for digital editing and their variants (i.e., digital scholarly edition, critical digital edition), as those serve mostly as keywords in this kind of communication.

This study was conducted as part of consultations within the FASCA project, which aims to ‘enrich GoTriple with a set of specialised services, to enable data-driven research based on the rich amount of information offered by the platform’ (FASCA Initiative 2025).
