NIHIN book series
The book series NIHIN – New Ideas in Human Interaction – is a joint venture of the Hermann Paul School of Linguistics (HPSL) and the Freiburg University Library (UB). NIHIN provides a modern, open access platform for theses and corpus publications.
NIHIN comprises NIHIN studies and NIHIN stories.
NIHIN stories
is geared towards the publication of language corpora. NIHIN stories aims at making spoken language corpora available to the public and at enhancing the visibility of linguistic research in society in general, with a particular focus on oral narrations. NIHIN stories actively implements standards advocated by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with respect to open access and the management, curation and long-term preservation not only of scientific studies but also of (linguistic) scientific data to enable future use and reuse of data gathered for individual projects.NIHIN stories provides a unique opportunity for young academics to publish not only their thesis but also the data they have gathered for their thesis in an easily accessible format. A second publication at such an early stage in their career will be very advantageous for their career.
