        Subject: Call for Papers – Lehrkonzepte zur Textannotation in der Hochschullehre

Liebe alle,

wir möchten herzlich auf den aktuellen Open Call des Diamond Open-Access-
Journals forTEXT aufmerksam machen.

Im Rahmen des laufenden Call for Papers laden wir zur Einreichung von in der
Hochschullehre erprobten Lehrkonzepten zum Thema Textannotation ein. Abstracts
(max. 300 Wörter) können ab sofort bis zum 31.10.2025 per Mail an
redaktion@journal.fortext.org eingereicht werden.

Unser Ziel ist es, vielfältige didaktische Ansätze und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten
sichtbar zu machen und den offenen Austausch über die Rolle der Annotation in
der Digital-Humanities-Lehre zu fördern.



Einige bereits erschienene Beiträge zum Thema finden sich hier:

👉 https://journal.fortext.org/issue/116/info/
 https://journal.fortext.org/issue/116/info/

Mit dem Anliegen, den Wissensaustausch zu stärken und DH-Ansätze in Forschung
und Lehre weiter zu etablieren, bietet forTEXT eine Plattform für Beiträge zu
Methoden, Ressourcen und Tools der Digital Humanities. Die Publikation erfolgt
im Open Peer Review und ist kostenfrei.

Wir freuen uns, wenn der Call in Kollegien und einschlägigen Netzwerken
weitergeleitet wird – und natürlich besonders, wenn eigene Lehrkonzepte
eingereicht werden.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Das forTEXT-Team
