In 2024, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Érudit embarked on a collaborative project to survey and map digital research infrastructure (DRI) in Canada, specifically pertaining to the humanities and social sciences disciplines.
The methodology included a scoping review of comparable reports and analyses from different international jurisdictions; research into humanities and social sciences DRI; and a set of conversations with 22 stakeholders in the Canadian humanities and social sciences DRI landscape. The resulting landscape analysis surveys 11 key DRI organizations connected to the humanities and social sciences (to varying degrees), as well as an additional 23 related initiatives. It also summarizes challenges in this landscape and calls for the community to build a path forward, together.
While this analysis undergoes review and official publication, we present the document here as a pre-publication community discussion draft. We welcome your engagement with this material. Please contact Alyssa Arbuckle at aarbuckle@crkn.ca if you would like to discuss anything related to the draft.
Please note that the publication is currently only available in English, but a French version will be offered for the final version. It can be viewed further down this page, or downloaded as a PDF file at this address.
