Abstract
We’ve all heard about the digital revolution in the arts and humanities: digital humanities some call it, a major part of which is using computers to conduct data-driven analyses of complex materials like literature. ‘There are a lot of drawbacks (and benefits) to this “new” discipline, or set of disciplines, or passing fancy, however you conceive it,’ explains Dr James O’Sullivan, digital arts and humanities lecturer at University College Cork, as he examines one such shortcoming – reproducibility.
