*Scholarship and Literacies in a Digital Age - Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Research in Learning Technology* *Deadline for submissions: 1 May 2013* There is growing interest in the field on the impact of digital technologies on meaning-making practices and identity in education, which has been explored via the related concepts of ‘digital scholarship’ and ‘digital literacies’. A range of initiatives have focused on digital literacies (associated with student practices), such as the current JISC programme, the ESRC seminar series on literacy in the digital university, and international networks such as the UK-Canadian, “New Media, New Literacies and New Forms of Learning”. In contrast, the concepts of ‘digital scholarship’ or ‘open scholarship’ have tended to refer to the impact of digital technologies on academics’ practices and identities, as with the Open University digital scholarship research strand, or else refer to data management, as with the Royal Society’s Open Science report or Friedrich Kittler’s late provocations. This special issue of Research in Learning Technology aims to bring these strands together in a critical and theorized way, in order to consolidate and advance research, and to identify implications for practice, organizational change and policy.
