Charting Digital Humanities: A Bibliometric View of Cultural Heritage

Abstract

In recent years, Digital Humanities (DH) has emerged as a dynamic interdisciplinary field, captivating the attention of researchers and technologists globally due to its pioneering contributions to information science and technology. This study conducts a comprehensive review of 194 articles published between 2015 and 2022, with a specific focus on DH applications within the realm of cultural heritage studies. The inherent interdisciplinary nature of DH renders it exceptionally appealing, as it holds the potential to facilitate the adoption of Industry 4.0 (IR 4.0) by establishing robust connections between the realms of economics, society, and information and communication technology (ICT) innovations. Through an exhaustive bibliometric analysis of 228 articles sourced from Scopus, we unveil promising avenues for further exploration, anticipate DH's future trajectory, and propose innovative research applications aimed at bridging existing gaps in the scholarly landscape. This analysis not only reveals valuable insights into the field's evolution but also underscores the underutilized potential of combining bibliometrics, scientometrics, and informetrics in bibliometric studies. It sheds light on a previously uncharted territory, thereby enriching our understanding of the unexplored facets of this burgeoning field.

Keywords: Digital humanities, bibliometric analysis & systematic literature review, cultural heritage, knowledge transfer

Introduction

The utilization of Personal Computers (PCs) and other digital devices has enabled humans to explore various disciplines of human culture (Garzotto et al., 2010). DH experts employ various techniques and technologies to enable individuals to interact effectively with computers while appreciating cultural values. Consequently, cultural heritage (CH) institutions have increasingly adopted digital preservation strategies to facilitate sustainable access to historical data while preserving its scientific and social values (Ross & Hedstrom, 2005). To promote the transfer of knowledge in the context of CH studies, the creation of a Knowledge Transfer (KT) program for DH is becoming a high priority. It is crucial to identify the essential directions for knowledge exchange to uncover the business potential of DH but also to cover the various disciplines of CH resources (Kajberg & Lørring, 2005).

Considering that knowledge does not exist independently of the knower, it is shaped by the knower's needs, and working within the creation and collection of knowledge is crucial (Tuomi, 1999). Therefore, information and knowledge cannot be created or measured until they exist in the mind of the individual who knows. To achieve successful knowledge transfer, people must have a practical base to guide them (Nonaka, 1994). In this regard, bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review are useful tools that can be used to study the evolution of DH and knowledge transfer in CH studies. These methods can provide insights into the trends, patterns, and gaps in the literature, helping to identify the key contributors and concepts in the field. In this paper, we aim to explore the evolution of DH and knowledge transfer in CH studies using a bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review. Our study will contribute to filling the research gap by identifying the key contributors, trends, and challenges in the field, and discussing the implications of our findings for future research and practice.

DH was introduced as a collective intellectual discovery in the field of history, arts, languages, traditional literatures, anthropology, communication, and media along with information studies for some time. However, it has been moving away from traditional technological assistance towards new approaches as well as adopting new methodologies and techniques (Kim, 2020). This changed the perception of what a humanities research project can be and invented new methods especially in producing research with an established computer-based statistical analysis, as a compulsory fragment in proving their studies (Kim, 2020; O’Sullivan et al., 2015; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2016; Robinson, 2016). These methods were used to collect and archive vast amounts of data and information, considerably more than any single researcher or study group could ever handle in a reasonable amount of time.

Recent developments have broadened the disciplinary scope to encompass critical digital studies, while integrating emerging technologies such as AR/VR/MR, data visualization, machine-learning, Internet of Things (IOT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data and among other matters. Alternatively, giving us new ways of seeing past and present cultures. According to UNESCO World Heritage Centre (2020), it is important to pay attention to the transfer of knowledge in Cultural Heritage (CH) while using the digital component because it opens new educational and monetization prospects for intellectual property (IP), legacy continuity and cultural learning. However, this problem still lacks adequate theoretical background globally as reported by (Aladyshkin et al., 2019; Edmond & Lehmann, 2021; Joseph, 2020; Oiva, 2020).

Methodology

Analysis of bibliometric data was employed in this study to assess the structure and significance of Knowledge Transfer in DH and its emphasis on cultural heritage. This analysis involves defining the research question, collecting relevant literature, pre-processing data, calculating bibliometric indicators, visualizing data, and interpreting results. Data pre-processing involves removing duplicates, correcting author names, and assigning subject categories to articles. By having these indicators such as citation counts, co-authorship, and journal impact factor, it can provide insights into the productivity, impact, and collaboration patterns of authors, institutions, and research domains. The analysis of citation counts and co-authorship patterns, had also aided in identifying influential authors, institutions and track the development of ideas and trends over time. These insights can be invaluable in guiding future research and advancing the field of digital humanities.

Table 1 depicts the series of steps taken to identify pertinent articles from Scopus, a comprehensive bibliographic database of peer-reviewed literature. At the outset, 228 articles were identified as potentially relevant to the study. However, to ensure the validity and accuracy of the bibliometric analysis, several refining steps were performed to exclude duplicates and irrelevant articles. Specifically, non-English language articles (with the exception of one Bosnian language article) and articles with unknown authors were removed from the dataset. Following this refining process, a total of 194 articles remained that were suitable for bibliometric analysis on topics and keywords relevant to "Digital Humanities" AND "Knowledge Transfer" OR "Cultural Heritage".

Findings

The bibliometric analysis of the Scopus dataset was conducted on November 25th, 2022, using Biblioshiny By utilizing Biblioshiny, the research team was able to conduct a thorough and rigorous bibliometric analysis of the Scopus dataset, providing valuable insights and findings on the topics of "Digital Humanities" AND "Knowledge Transfer" OR "Cultural Heritage".

Bradford’s Law

This statistical method that has been used to analyse the distribution of scientific literature in a given field. It states that a small number of journals contribute to the majority of articles published in a particular subject area, while a large number of journals contribute relatively few articles. By applying Bradford's law to the data on Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage publications, the most frequently referenced journals in this field can be identified. Using Bradford's law and four-zone models, researchers have identified the core journals in the field of Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage. These core journals include CEUR Workshop Proceedings, Scopus Lecture Notes, ACM Conference Proceedings, and Communication in Computer Journal. These journals have published a significant number of articles in this field, and are therefore considered the main journals for this area of study.

Moreover, the identified core journals are likely to contain articles on specific subtopics within Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage. This enables researchers to target their search to these core journals, thus saving time and resources. Figure 3 shows the Bradford’s Law for Source Log and Number of Articles.

In Figure 5, the frequency and occurrences of author keywords have been analyzed and presented in a tree format, which enables the visualization of the percentage of each keyword. This analysis helps to identify the most common and relevant keywords used by authors in the field of digital humanities and cultural heritage research. The results demonstrate that the top five author keywords are digital humanities, cultural heritage, historic preservation, semantics, and digital cultural heritage, which account for 18 percent, 15 percent, 5 percent, 4 percent, and 3% of the total keywords used by authors, respectively. The high frequency of these keywords indicates their importance and relevance to the field of digital humanities and cultural heritage research, and highlights the key topics and themes that researchers are exploring in their studies.

Network Analysis:

Using the co-citation link, two articles are linked together, indicating that they are mentioned in the same research piece, resulting in a co-citation. The retrieved data was subjected to co-citation analysis to construct a network. As can be seen in Figure 6, the short-listed publications' bibliographies include the 20 most often mentioned sources. In the co-citation map, there are four distinct groups of red, purple, green, and blue dots. Discipline-oriented study has resulted in specialisation to the point that programmes and policies increasingly favour efforts that go beyond conventional academic bounds. Transdisciplinary research combines methods and ideas from other academic disciplines to address a problem or achieve a goal that is larger than the scope of a single field of Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage. This can help researcher to identify patterns, clusters of authors who work together on specific research topics or who belong to specific institutions.

Co-Citation Analysis by Journal, Author & Field

Co-Citation Analysis involves identifying the frequency with which two articles or authors are cited together in the same context. In this method, it is divided into 3 panels or categories. The DE, AU, and SO are fields or variables used in bibliometric co-citation analysis in R. DE refers to the co-occurring keywords or terms in the titles, abstracts, or keywords of co-cited publications, AU refers to the co-occurring authors in the references list of co-cited publications, and SO refers to the co-occurring sources in the references list of co-cited publications. These fields are used to create co-citation networks that visualize the relationships between publications, authors, or sources. The underlying assumption behind co-citation analysis is that articles or authors that are frequently cited together are related in some way, either because they address similar topics or because they share some conceptual framework. From this, it can help researchers identify the most influential articles or authors in a particular field or subfield. For example, it suggests that Lecture notes in computer science and artificial intelligence are both important to the development of the field and are likely to have a significant impact on future research in the area. Aside from that, it also identifies clusters or networks of related articles or authors focusing on digital humanities and cultural heritage. This can help researchers to map the intellectual structure of a particular field or subfield and to identify potential research gaps or opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration by following data stated in the DE panel. In addition to co-citation analysis at the article and author level, it can also be done at the journal and field level. For example, researchers can use co-citation analysis to identify the most influential journals in a particular field or to track the evolution of a field over time.

Discussion

The study on digital humanity in the domain of cultural heritage is still in its infancy and the papers are scarce, according to the results gathered. Digital humanities, digital cultural heritage, and historic preservation were the primary areas of study. However, integration on DH and knowledge transfer are rarely discussed or published in Scopus. Reviews and contemporary studies must be examined under this topic for knowledge transmissions and illustrates that heritage legacy is still relevant.

The table 8 displays bibliometric analysis results of the number of articles, total citations, citable years, and the frequency of bibliometrics, scientometrics, and informetrics usage in the years 2015 to 2022. The analysis showed that digital humanities, digital cultural heritage, and historic preservation were the primary areas of study in the domain of cultural heritage. However, only 5.2% of the articles promoted the combination of applying bibliometrics, scientometrics, or informetrics in the advancement of research on this topic. The percentage of articles discussing bibliometrics was the highest among the three, while scientometric and informetric analysis were not used as much. Nonetheless, the study acknowledges the selectivity bias in the records, which may skew the distribution of historical and knowledge data.

The discoveries distinguished that the three utilized terms were covered reasonably founded on titles, abstract and keywords as indicated by authors. With the presence of the term having Digital Humanities a positive connection with the portion of bibliometrics, it shows contrasted with the presence of the other two terms (knowledge transfer and cultural heritage. DH term demonstrate a bigger portion of distributions on points connected with research assessment, findings, and theories.

Nonetheless, we do not wish to dismiss the concerns connected with the selectivity bias in the records, which is exacerbated by reuse patterns. Significant essential CH and KT articles and other publications have yet to be initiated, which can skew historical and knowledge distribution and scientific research. In spite of the large range of search criteria, many of which may be visualized, we are unable to dig down to answer unique research concerns since not all types of searches are feasible. Additionally, it is unable to alter, update, or do more advanced statistical analysis on the data. Using a web-based, publicly accessible platform to offer a research resource has its limits. There are several advantages to this method of distribution, including the fact that all users have access to the same body of evidence and that searches may be referenced and duplicated, fostering open data research techniques and open analysis.

Recommendations

Encourage more research and applications of DH technology in cultural heritage studies: The study also identifies potential areas of investigation in cultural heritage and recommends innovative research applications. Thus, there is a need to encourage more research in this area and promote the adoption of DH technology in cultural heritage studies.

Focus on developing knowledge transfer (KT) programs for DH in cultural heritage: The article emphasizes the need for a KT program for DH in the cultural heritage aspect. This will help in managing art, new media, creating digital libraries, archives, CH databases, and displaying them in innovative collections. Therefore, researchers and practitioners in this field should focus on developing effective KT programs that can facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills in DH and cultural heritage.

Promote interdisciplinary collaboration: DH is an interdisciplinary field that requires collaboration between researchers and practitioners from different disciplines such as humanities, computer science, information science, and others. Therefore, there is a need to promote interdisciplinary collaboration to foster innovation in DH and cultural heritage studies.

Conduct more bibliometric analysis: The study uses bibliometric analysis to analyze the trends in DH applications for knowledge transfer in cultural heritage studies. More bibliometric analysis can help in identifying emerging trends and areas of research that require more attention. Therefore, researchers should conduct more bibliometric analysis to gain insights into the current state and future directions of DH and cultural heritage studies.

Conclusion

According to the limited literature, knowledge transfer terms have a strong territorial component and emerge based on values and it can be applied to enhance cultural identity. In many mainstream literatures on knowledge transfer, it frequently refers to the technology sector, relationships between individuals and social interactions to play a fundamental role in promoting knowledge circulation. Technology, creativity, and passion flow between researchers also includes knowledge made possible by shared cultural values. However, the motivations for knowledge transfer come from the pursuit of heritage, can divulge innovation, increasing competitiveness, and figuring out how to integrate various types of traditional knowledge to understand the particulars issues and best preservation method of cultural heritage. This study advances the transdisciplinary character of humanities by concentrating on how the data were described, displayed, and organized might be used to many aspects of information and knowledge management, as well as empowering cultural heritage sustainability. Even though the present study has important implications, the KT and CH research reproductions have a lack of empirical data, which suggests that future research could be conducted to verify these findings by gathering case data, test and refine it in other contexts to a diverse and cogency finding.
