Mapping Cultures in the Big Tent: Multidisciplinary Networks in the Digital Humanities Quarterly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) is a young journal that covers the intersection of digital media and traditional humanities. In this paper, we explore the publication patterns in DHQ through visualizations of co-authorship and bibliographic coupling networks in order to understand the cultures the journal represents. We find that DHQ consists largely of sole-authored papers (66%) and the authorship is dominated (75%) by authors publishing from North American institutions. Through the backbone of DHQ’s bibliographic coupling network, we identify several communities of articles published in DHQ, and we analyze their collective abstracts using term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) analysis. The extracted terms show that DHQ has wide coverage across the digital humanities, and that sub areas of DHQ can be identified through their citation behavior.

متن کاملThe Potential and Problems in using High Performance Computing in the Arts and Humanities: the Researching e-Science Analysis of Census Holdings (ReACH) Project
e-Science and high performance computing (HPC) have the potential to allow large datasets to be searched and analysed quickly, efficiently, and in complex and novel ways. Little application has been made of the processing power of grid technologies to humanities data, due to lack of available large-scale datasets, and little understanding of or access to e-Science technologies. The Researching ...
