Do you know individuals who seem to focus on one thing for their whole life? I’m on the opposite side of the scale.

Yet I want to explore whether we are on the cusp of a transformation in this struggle that recalls, for me, the quarrel of the ancients and […]
For many humanities researchers, managing the structured data collected or produced as part of their research projects is a technical challenge. In the past, the services of external service providers have been heavily relied upon for this purpose, resulting not only in high costs but also in a large number of isolated data silos scattered […]
