Abstract

Formulating a new research project or writing a proposal for a CFI, SSHRC, or ARB grant requires an understanding of research scale: from small to big, and from big to small. After briefly exploring the contours of digital scholarship, we will spend the bulk of the workshop discussing project scalability, a skill that is indispensable to realizing long term research goals. This document is to assist researchers identify project goals and work towards a scalable research plan with attainable components.
