Most importantly, modding allows players to challenge and subvert dominant discourses, and to foster cultures of inclusivity. These DIY efforts could be adapted by academic publishers, particularly those focused on design research, to encourage sustained engagement with scholarly materials. This article discusses the history of modding, provides examples, and sketches one online modding community in detail. It then makes the argument that modding is a form of end-user engagement of the sort advocated by scholars such as Gerald Fischer, and compares modding to other online academic publishing efforts, such as webtexts.", "@xml:lang": "en"}}, "doi_data": {"doi": "10.4000/proceedings.elpub.2018.21", "resource": "http://elpub.episciences.org/4609", "collection": [{"item": {"@crawler": "iParadigms", "resource": "https://hal.science/hal-01816719v1/document"}, "@property": "crawler-based"}, {"item": {"resource": {"value": "https://hal.science/hal-01816719v1/document", "@mime_type": "application/pdf"}}, "@property": "text-mining"}]}, "keywords": {"0": "[SHS.INFO]Humanities and Social Sciences/Library and information sciences", "en": ["programming", "games", "modding", "mods"]}, "@language": "en", "contributors": {"person_name": {"surname": "Wells", "@sequence": "first", "given_name": "Matthew", "affiliations": {"institution": {"institution_id": {"@type": "ror", "value": "https://ror.org/03dbr7087"}, "institution_name": "Ryerson University [Toronto]"}}, "@contributor_role": "author"}}, "publisher_item": {"item_number": {"value": "4609", "@item_number_type": "article_number"}}, "acceptance_date": {"day": "20", "year": "2018", "month": "06", "@media_type": "online"}, "publication_date": {"day": "20", "year": "2018", "month": "06", "@media_type": "online"}, "@publication_type": "full_text"}, "journal_metadata": {"@language": "en", "full_title": "ElPub - ELectronic PUBlishing"}}, "database": {"current": {"url": "http://elpub.episciences.org/4609", "flag": "imported", "type": {"title": "conferenceobject"}, "dates": {"posted_date": "2018-06-20 21:24:56", "publication_date": "2018-06-20 21:58:08", "modification_date": "2025-03-31 23:02:53", "first_submission_date": "2018-06-20 21:24:56"}, "files": {"link": "http://elpub.episciences.org/4609/pdf"}, "isTmp": false, "status": {"id": 16, "label": {"en": "published", "fr": "publié"}}, "volume": {"id": 339, "year": "2018", "number": 1, "titles": {"en": "Connecting the Knowledge Commons: From Projects to Sustainable Infrastructure"}, "position": "1", "settings": {"is_open": false, "is_current_issue": false, "is_special_issue": false}, "descriptions": {"en": "ELPUB 2018 marks the 22nd edition of the International Conference in ELectronic PUBlishing and the 10th anniversary of the meeting being held in Toronto."}, "has_proceedings": false, "bibliographical_references": ""}, "journal": {"id": 16, "url": "http://elpub.episciences.org", "code": "elpub", "name": "ElPub - ELectronic PUBlishing"}, "metrics": {"file_count": "761", "page_count": "461"}, "section": {"id": 88, "titles": {"en": "Long Papers"}, "position": 1, "settings": {"is_open": true}, "descriptions": null}, "version": 1, "cited_by": {"462": {"id": "462", "docid": "4609", "citation": "{\"0\":{\"type\":null,\"author\":\"Sonja Gabriel, 0000-0002-0379-952X\",\"year\":2019,\"title\":\"The Potential of Digital Games for Learning and Teaching\",\"event_place\":\"\",\"source_title\":\"Perspektiven der game studies\",\"volume\":\"\",\"issue\":\"\",\"page\":\"9-30\",\"doi\":\"10.1007/978-3-658-27395-8_2\",\"oa_link\":\"\"},\"1\":{\"type\":null,\"author\":\"Pedro Reisinho, 0000-0002-4508-3458; Rui Raposo, 0000-0002-5275-6200; Nelson Zagalo, 0000-0002-5478-0650\",\"year\":2023,\"title\":\"The ethical dilemma of modding digital games: A literature review of the creation and distribution of mods\",\"event_place\":\"\",\"source_title\":\"Convergence The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies\",\"volume\":\"30\",\"issue\":\"2\",\"page\":\"860-881\",\"doi\":\"10.1177/13548565231223933\",\"oa_link\":\"https://doi.org/10.1177/13548565231223933\"}}", "source_id": "13", "updated_at": "2025-11-22 03:09:16", "source_id_name": "OpenCitations"}}, "mainPdfUrl": "https://hal.science/hal-01816719v1/document", "repository": {"id": "1", "name": "HAL", "type": "repository", "status": "1", "api_url": "https://api.archives-ouvertes.fr", "doc_url": "https://hal.science/hal-01816719v1", "base_url": "https://api.archives-ouvertes.fr/oai/hal/", "paper_url": "https://hal.science/hal-01816719v1/document", "doi_prefix": "", "identifier": "oai:HAL:hal-01816719v1"}, "identifiers": {"concept_identifier": null, "document_item_number": 4609, "permanent_item_number": 4609, "repository_identifier": "hal-01816719"}, "classifications": [], "original_language": "en", "position_in_volume": 5, "graphical_abstract_file": ""}, "previous_versions": null, "first_version_item_number": 4609, "latest_version_item_number": 4609}}
