Digital Humanities, Social Science and Cultural Preservation

Aims and Scope

Digital Humanities, Social Science and Cultural Preservation is dedicated to exploring the intersection of digital technology, human culture, and social research. The journal serves as a forum for interdisciplinary scholarship that integrates computational methods with humanities and social sciences, emphasizing both theoretical and applied research. It seeks to address how digital innovations influence cultural studies, historical preservation, and contemporary social analysis.

The journal covers a wide range of topics related to digital humanities, including but not limited to the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics in cultural and social research. As digital archives and computational tools redefine how historical documents, literature, and artistic works are studied, this journal provides a space for discussing both the benefits and limitations of these new methodologies. Special attention is given to digital text analysis, corpus linguistics, natural language processing, and digital storytelling, which contribute to a more nuanced understanding of cultural evolution and societal structures.

A critical area of focus is the preservation of cultural heritage through digital means. As physical artifacts, traditional practices, and indigenous knowledge systems face the risk of erosion or disappearance, digital technology offers a means of safeguarding and revitalizing them. The journal invites research on digitization techniques, virtual reconstructions, and community-driven digital heritage projects that aim to make cultural materials more accessible to global audiences. It also addresses the ethical and legal challenges associated with digital preservation, including issues related to copyright, data ownership, and responsible archival practices.

The scope of the journal extends to computational social science, investigating how digital platforms influence communication, identity formation, and societal behavior. Digital media, online discourse, and algorithmic governance are reshaping modern interactions, and their implications on democracy, social movements, and public engagement remain crucial areas of study. Contributions that explore the social impact of digital tools, misinformation in digital spaces, and the role of big data in sociological research are particularly welcome.

Interdisciplinary by nature, Digital Humanities, Social Science and Cultural Preservation brings together scholars from history, literature, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, media studies, and computer science. The journal encourages cross-disciplinary collaborations that merge qualitative and quantitative approaches, fostering new insights into historical and contemporary cultural phenomena.

By advancing research at the crossroads of technology and the humanities, the journal aims to enrich discussions on digital methodologies, ethical considerations, and the evolving role of social sciences in a rapidly digitizing world. It is committed to publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research that contributes to scholarly debates while also offering practical applications for cultural institutions, policymakers, and digital practitioners.
