Integrated interdisciplinary workflows for research on historical newspapers: Perspectives from humanities scholars, computer scientists, and librarians.

ABSTRACT: This article considers the interdisciplinary opportunities and challenges of working with digital cultural heritage, such as digitized historical newspapers, and proposes an integrated digital hermeneutics workflow to combine purely disciplinary research approaches from computer science, humanities, and library work. Common interests and motivations of the above-mentioned disciplines have resulted in interdisciplinary projects and collaborations such as the NewsEye project, which is working on novel solutions on how digital heritage data is (re)searched, accessed, used, and analyzed. We argue that collaborations of different disciplines can benefit from a good understanding of the workflows and traditions of each of the disciplines involved but must find integrated approaches to successfully exploit the full potential of digitized sources. The paper is furthermore providing an insight into digital tools, methods, and hermeneutics in action, showing that integrated interdisciplinary research needs to build something in between the disciplines while respecting and understanding each other's expertise and expectations.

Project description:BackgroundThe humanities can aid in the development of important skills for trainee physicians. Because of the nature of their work, palliative medicine residents are expected to apply humanities-based skills frequently in their clinical work and are also likely to use humanities-based skills to support their own self-care. Our project explored the role of the humanities in palliative medicine residency programs across Canada.MethodsEach priority topic or objective of the current palliative medicine residency training standards in Canada was reviewed to determine whether they relate to the humanities. A cross-sectional survey was subsequently created using Qualtrics, with the target study population being current palliative medicine residents and palliative medicine staff physicians at academic centers in Canada.ResultsMultiple humanities objectives exist in Canadian palliative medicine training standards, primarily in the ethical, cultural, and spiritual domains. Eighty-seven people completed the cross-sectional survey, for a 17.4% response rate and 94.6% completion rate. The vast majority (90%) of survey participants felt that the humanities had an important role in medical training at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and more than 70% of participants felt that the humanities had an important role in palliative medicine residency training. In some areas, the humanities participants felt that their programs would most benefit from ethics, philosophy, and culture. Over 65% agreed or strongly agreed that their own palliative medicine program would benefit from more humanities content.ConclusionCanadian palliative medicine training standards require residents to demonstrate humanities-based skills. Most survey participants state that the humanities have an important role in medical training at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, and that their own palliative medicine residency program would benefit from more humanities content. These results may guide future studies to better understand why and how more humanities content can be added to palliative medicine residency programs to optimize residents' learning experiences and better prepare them for careers in palliative medicine.
