Social edition
A social edition is a form of textual scholarship that utilizes social media like Wikimedia or blogs to create annotated editions of texts. Crompton, Arbuckle and Siemens describe that "Using social media allows us to integrate a new stage into the editorial process — a stage that fills the gap between an edition’s initial planning stages and its concluding blind peer review, which capitalizes on the engaged knowledge communities inside and outside the academy".[1]
