Digital humanities at global scale

Abstract

The incorporation of the humanities into digital transformation processes resulted in the emergence of a new research field called digital humanities. This new field has its origin in the beginning of the second half of the twentieth century. From the research point of view, through the analysis of the scientific production of the main academic databases, we provide here an overview of the international panorama of digital humanities, looking at the main countries, institutions, areas of knowledge and leading topics in this discipline.
