The first issue of this new open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal is now out. Have a look.
The following text is copied from the Digital Classicist mailing list:
We are very pleased to announce the first issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly at https://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/.

This first issue brings together a fascinating range of perspectives, and we expect this breadth to be even more visible as future issues accumulate. We look forward to showcasing the wide variety of materials that are being submitted, both from traditional digital humanities domains and from important related areas such as new media studies, digital libraries, and digital art. New pieces will be added in a preview section as soon as they are ready for publication, and a quarterly announcement will notify readers when each new issue is complete. Please bookmark the site for now; an RSS feed will be coming soon. During the course of the next year we will also be adding more features such as commenting, searching, and a variety of ways of interacting with the content.
DHQ is a community experiment in journal publication: developed and published in XML on an open-source platform, under a Creative Commons license.
