Social edition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A social edition is a form of textual scholarship that utilizes social media like Wikimedia or blogs to create annotated editions of texts.[1] Crompton, Arbuckle and Siemens describe that "Using social media allows us to integrate a new stage into the editorial process — a stage that fills the gap between an edition’s initial planning stages and its concluding blind peer review, which capitalizes on the engaged knowledge communities inside and outside the academy".[2]
