The most up-to-date list of publications of Prof. Dr. Julianne Nyhan can be found on her personal website.

Main research interests of Prof. Dr. Julianne Nyhan:

• Digital Humanities including, but not limited to, the semantic markup, modeling, enrichment and analysis of historical sources and lexicographical/linguistic material; source criticism and hermeneutics; applied digital methods.

• The history of Digital Humanities especially its researching non-cannonical histories. My particular interest is on uncovering 'hidden', overlooked or devalued contributions to the field's emergence and development (and knowledge production more generally).

• Oral history as practice and theory and the affordances of digital methods in the analysis of oral history interviews, individually and at scale.

• Critical Heritage Studies especially its intersections with Digital Cultural Heritage and Collections as Data research.

• The history of Computing especially in the Humanities, with a particular emphasis on gender and technology and the history of women in computing.

• Bibliometrics, Scientometrics along with more qualitative approaches to peer review and evaluation.

• The history of information and classification architectures, especially those used in dictionaries and object catalogues.
