Core research themes
The Centre for e-Research undertakes basic and applied research which advances knowledge and understanding in the key research areas that fall within its remit. Research activities may include new and innovative areas of investigation, the application of existing research to other disciplines and fields of expertise, or the combination of existing information sources to create new knowledge. A key feature of the Centre’s research is that it may be both inter- and trans-disciplinary, addressing methodological crossovers between the humanities, science and social sciences.
The Centre’s core research themes are:
-
the theory and practice of digital libraries, digital archives and digital asset management;
-
knowledge organisation and digital information management, through all stages of the digital lifecycle;
-
researcher practices in the digital domain, including citizen and community engagement;
-
ICT methods for digital scholarship and research, and the formalisation of research methods through the use of ICT;
-
e-research infrastructures and environments.
