Vol. 5 Issue 31 – 2-Day Workshop on Role of Computer Applications in research methodology for Humanities and Social Sciences, October 22-23, Ahmedabad – India
Over the two most recent decades we have witnessed an increasing reliance on communication and information technologies in knowledge creation and communication processes. Almost every academic discipline has been affected by the ubiquitous and innovative nature of technologies as information and communication technologies (ICTs) become tools for knowledge production, objects of study, or form a new disciplinary domain. Accounts of new media implementations and explorations in the humanities and social sciences are increasingly presented under the digital humanities rubric. This increasingly common catchphrase entails a range of ICT–related initiatives — such as digital libraries, software usage, visualization, text mining, geographic information systems (GIS), multimedia, social networking, and teaching with technology, open access, and digital culture.
