In the past decade, an increasing set of digital tools has been developed with which digital sources can be selected, analyzed, and presented. Many tools go beyond key word search and perform different types of analysis, aggregation, mapping, and linking of data selections, which transforms materials and creates new perspectives, thereby changing the way scholars interact with and perceive their materials. These tools, together with the massive amount of digital and digitized data available for humanities research, put a strain on traditional humanities research methods. Currently, there is no established method of assessing the role of digital tools in the research trajectory of humanities scholars. There is no consensus on what questions researchers should ask themselves to evaluate digital sources beyond those of traditional analogue source criticism. This article aims to contribute to a better understanding of digital tools and the discussion of how to evaluate and incorporate them in research, based on findings from a digital tool criticism workshop held at the 2017 Digital Humanities Benelux conference. The overall goal of this article is to provide insight in the actual use and practice of digital tool criticism, offer a ready-made format for a workshop on digital tool criticism, give insight in aspects that play a role in digital tool criticism, propose an elaborate model for digital tool criticism that can be used as common ground for further conversations in the field, and finally, provide recommendations for future workshops, researchers, data custodians, and tool builders.

建立数字工具批判模型：作为整合实践的反思

在过去的十年中，已经开发了越来越多的数字工具集，通过这些工具可以选择，分析和显示数字源。许多工具不仅可以进行关键词搜索，还可以进行不同类型的分析，汇总，映射和数据选择链接，从而转换资料并创建新的视角，从而改变学者与资料交互和理解资料的方式。这些工具，以及可用于人文研究的大量数字和数字化数据，给传统人文研究方法带来了压力。当前，尚没有确定的方法来评估数字工具在人文学者的研究轨迹中的作用。对于研究人员应该问自己的哪些问题，以评估数字资源，而不是传统的模拟源批评，人们尚未达成共识。本文旨在基于2017年数字人文比荷卢经济联盟会议上举行的数字工具批评研讨会的发现，促进对数字工具的更好理解以及如何评估和将其纳入研究的讨论。本文的总体目标是提供对数字工具批评的实际使用和实践的见解，为数字工具批评的研讨会提供现成的格式，对在数字工具批评中起作用的方面提供见解，提出建议。详尽的数字工具批评模型，可以用作在该领域进行进一步对话的共同基础，并最终为以后的研讨会提供建议，
