- Abstract
- In my contribution to the round table, I’ll discuss my recent experience hosting the DS² (Digital Studies of Digital Science) conference, which was held online between March 15 and 18, 2021 (co-organized by Luca Rivelli). Our motivation in hosting the meeting was two-fold: on the one hand, to look at the ways in which the “digitization” of science itself has changed and will continue to change the study of science, and on the other hand, to expand the scope of disciplines that we normally consider to be implicated in “digital studies of science,” including scholars from the digital humanities more broadly, library science, corpus and computational linguistics, scientometrics, visualization, and so forth. I’ll use some reflections on the successes and shortcomings of the conference to think about the kinds of interdisciplinary knowledge creation that seem to be so central to the widespread use of digital tools in history of science and allied fields.
