Digital Scholarship

Introduction to digital scholarship resources, tools, and projects

General Tools for Digital Research

The following pages provide an overview of different tools online used for digital scholarship. The tools are grouped in different categories: Text Analysis, Mapping, Data Visualization, Storytelling, Social Annotation and Web Recording. The tools included in each category range from simple and easy-to-use to more complex. While many of them are open source, please note that there are some that are licensed.  

We recommend that you schedule a consultation with the digital scholarship team at the library (library-ds@umich.edu) to talk about options, access to tools that are licensed, processes, levels of accessibility of tools and documentation before getting started with your digital project.
