Open Access Comics Studies as Digital Public Humanities. Insights from a Decade of The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship

Abstract
​Motivated by the need to create an open access publishing platform dedicated to comics scholarship that embraced the values of frictionless sharing and online public engagement, The Comics Grid was initially conceived and developed in 2009 by a group of comics scholars interested in digital scholarship. It launched in 2010 as an “open access, collaborative peer-reviewed comics studies blog”. Since 2013 The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship has been a fully-fledged open access, peer-reviewed journal. In this presentation I will present qualitative and quantitative insights from a decade as editor-in-chief of the journal, discussing the challenges overcome so far and the journal’s vision for the type of comics scholarship the editors would like to see in future volumes of the journal. The intention is to also discuss the journal's online dissemination and engagement strategy, offering some insights from an analysis of our social media, journal metrics and other online indicators.
