I mean that, e.g., recent paleographical work which medieval music specialists have done on the sources which interest them has been more or less invisible to scholars of literature, history of science, etc., and vice versa. Even when they overlap almost exactly, as in this case. By recent I mean the last 2-3 decades, not like this past year.
The point is that if this work is applicable to a wider audience then why not get it in front of those eyeballs by publishing in a place where multiple disciplines congregate? This is the point of the Humanist[0] mailing list, for instance -- in the case of humanities computing applications.
