Dear Colleagues,

Digital humanities have been described as carrying out humanistic work
with the support of digital tools and/or doing humanistic work
concerning the digital world. In either case, digital humanities are in
vogue, and many researchers in the humanities regularly carry out their
work in information- and computing-intensive settings. However, there is
no consensus on what digital humanities are, whether they constitute a
new discipline, or what their scope is supposed to be.

This Special Issue of Information attempts to shed some light on these
issues by focusing on the role information plays in humanistic research
and, specifically, how humanistic knowledge is generated, communicated,
used, and institutionalized through information-intensive tools,
techniques, and methods. Relevant areas are those that are important to
the humanities, such as how things are documented and described; how
natural language is incorporated into the research process; how time,
space, subjectivity, change, and multilingualism affect reasoning and
knowledge production; how computing techniques (such as big data,
artificial intelligence, visualization, and many others) can help in the
humanities; how socio-technical issues (such as specialized education,
social networks, information reuse, or multidisciplinarity) impact
humanities research; and any other aspects of humanistic research that
are often performed in information-intensive settings.

I hope this initiative is of interest to you, and I look forward to your
submissions.

Dr. Cesar Gonzalez-Perez
