Digital Project Elements

Your digital project should include the following elements:

  • An inviting Home page that introduces the central thesis/research question of your project and draws the user in to explore more.
  • A clear and navigable layout.
  • Digital tools that provide a level of interactivity or visualization to your project, such as timelines, maps, charts and graphs, etc.
  • Context, narrative, and interpretation about different aspects of your research question.
  • Digital assets such as images, audio, and video, and their accompanying metadata, as necessary.
  • A Sources page or section (your bibliography).
  • An About page or section that provides:
  • A short biography.
  • A reflective section that talks about why you chose your research question and the future of your project (your research journal should help inspire this section).
  • A link to the Digital Scholarship Summer Research Fellows page (https://dssrf2023.blogs.bucknell.edu)
  • A Documentation page or section that provides (where applicable):
  • Information on the tools, content management systems, or other digital components used to create your project (including links to their web pages).
  • Customizations or special code created for the project.
  • Metadata schemas used in your project.
