In the humanities and allied social sciences, the use of computational, statistical, and mathematical models has increased sharply in recent years. The research can be characterized by (i) relying on quantifiable rather than strictly qualitative evidence; (ii) making explicit and formalizing narrative theory with the help of mathematical models; (iii) making statistical inferences about model parameters; (iv) the use of computational and automatic procedures for processing and analyzing data; and (v) searching for computational analogies through which theories from different disciplines can be unified. And yet, despite the undeniable growth of this new research area, many scholars still feel that there is no suitable research-oriented venue to present and publish their computational work that does not lose sight of questions relevant to the humanities. As such, we aim to fill this niche by creating a community for Computational Humanities Research.

As we believe this community to be a bottom-up, grassroots initiative, we would like to gauge the interests and desires of the interested parties. Using this survey, we hope to learn about your wishes.
