The long-awaited special issue on critical technical practices in digital research and beyond has been published in the Convergence journal. I’m pleased to contribute to this issue with an article on the critical study of documents produced in digital research production. I propose using the method of the “STS of documents” to analyse feasibility documents that aim to assess technical and design requirements based on research questions and to organise a project workflow. It is an open-access publication, so you can find it here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13548565221111073
