Standing Committee for the Humanities Building a European Reference Index For the Humanities - ERIH ERIH Initial List: Literature (2008) European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH) is a project jointly sponsored by ESF and the European Commission ERA-Net project “Humanities in the European Research Area” (HERA) (Contract no.: ERAC-CT-2005- 0161179). It comes under work-package 7 (Research Infrastructures). The ERIH lists will help identify excellence in Humanities scholarship and should prove useful for the aggregate benchmarking of national research systems, for example, in determining the international standing of the research activity carried out in a given field in a particular country. As they stand, the lists are not a bibliometric tool. The ERIH Steering Committee and the Expert Panels therefore advise against using the lists as the only basis for assessment of individual candidates for positions or promotions or of applicants for research grants. Expert Panel Scope Note: Literature studies encompass fields such as literary theory, literary history, comparative literature, rhetoric, cultural studies, folklore, poetics, theatre studies etc. The coverage of many national literary traditions with academic publication cultures in national languages – relevant as forum languages - makes this a fragmented and very diverse field. The Panel does not cover literatures in non-European languages (“Oriental and African Studies”). Post- colonial literatures in European languages remain, however, within the scope of this Panel. For the fields of pragmatics and semiotics there are some overlaps with linguistics. For aspects of cultural and media studies there are overlaps with numerous other panels.
