<p>In this episode of Βυζάντιο explained, we speak with Dr Bart Janssens, Publishing Manager at Brepols Publishers, about what it means to get published as a Byzantinist. We explore Brepols' mission and structure, walk through the publishing process from proposal to final publication, and discuss the linguistic and thematic trends that shape academic publishing today. We also delve into the role of artificial intelligence, the prospects of digital humanities, and the growing importance of interdisciplinary research in Byzantine and medieval studies. Dr Janssens shares insights from his long career at Brepols and his journey from classical philology to publishing management.</p><p>Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο του Βυζάντιο explained, συνομιλούμε με τον Dr Bart Janssens, διευθυντή εκδόσεων του Brepols, για το πώς είναι να εκδίδεις έργα ως βυζαντινολόγος. Εξετάζουμε το εκδοτικό έργο και την αποστολή των Brepols, τις διαδικασίες που ακολουθούνται από την πρόταση έως τη δημοσίευση, καθώς και τις γλώσσες και τις θεματικές τάσεις που διαμορφώνουν σήμερα την επιστημονική εκδοτική παραγωγή. Συζητούμε επίσης τον ρόλο της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, τις προοπτικές των ψηφιακών ανθρωπιστικών σπουδών, και τη σημασία της διαθεματικής έρευνας στα βυζαντινά και μεσαιωνικά γράμματα. Ο Dr Janssens μοιράζεται εμπειρίες από τη μακρόχρονη θητεία του στις Brepols, αλλά και την προσωπική του πορεία από τη φιλολογία στη διαχείριση εκδόσεων.🔗 Επισκεφθείτε τον ιστότοπο των Brepols: https://www.brepols.netΑνακαλύψτε τα Corpus Christianorum: https://www.corpuschristianorum.orgΜία νέα δημοσίευση από το Brepols: Byzantine Liturgical Books: An Introduction: https://www.brepols.net/products/IS-9782503607573-1🔗 Άκουσε το podcast μας εδώ: ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/byzantioexplainedpodcast⁠⁠📧 Επικοινωνήστε μαζί μας: ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠#Byzantioexplained #podcast #ByzantineStudies #Brepols #Byzantineempire #academicpublishing #DigitalHumanitiesΑκολουθήστε το Podcast μας 📸Instagram ► ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/byzantioexplained/⁠⁠✖️ X ► ⁠⁠https://x.com/ByzantioExpl_p⁠⁠🌐 Bluesky ► ⁠⁠https://bsky.app/profile/byzantioexplained.bsky.social⁠⁠📘 Facebook ► ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/Byzantioexplained⁠⁠🎧 Spotify ► ⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/3FtJ3ixEZiYBwuqyQ81mdg⁠⁠🍏 Apple Podcasts ► ⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/gr/podcast/byzantio-explained/id1554787771⁠⁠▶️ YouTube ► ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCumFGMN8OHqCxrxRl-wTEQA<br /></p>
