What is Digital Research at AU?

Digital Research is the application of modern digital technologies to advance or supplement the traditional process of scholarly exploration, discovery, and sharing. It refers to any scholarly activity that uses digital technologies to advance conventional methods of analysis, make certain kinds of research questions possible, and publish research in novel formats. These technologies can be applied to any stage of the research process to develop new methods for collaboration, visualization, analysis, and publication.
