CH Working Papers
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/chwp/

"CH Working Papers (or Computing in the Humanities Working Papers) are an interdisciplinary series of refereed publications on computer-assisted research. They are a vehicle for an intermediary stage at which questions of computer methodology in relation to the corpus at hand are of interest to the scholar before the computer disappears into the background. The series is successor to the print publication CCH Working Papers and was for a brief time named TCH Working Papers (ISSN 1204-038X). CHWP includes the following categories of publication: articles appearing for the first time; postprints, articles that were originally published in print form; preprints, articles that have been accepted for publication by print journals and that will either be withdrawn when published in print or become postprints; essays on the epistemology and sociology of computer-assisted research relevant to computing in the humanities; non-refereed experimental papers that exploit those properties of the electronic medium that are significantly different from the properties of print."
