Digital Research in the Arts and Humanities
About the Book Series
Digital technologies are increasingly important to arts and humanities research, expanding the horizons of research methods in all aspects of data capture, investigation, analysis, modelling, presentation and dissemination. This series, one of the first and most highly regarded in the field, covers a wide range of disciplines and provides an authoritative reflection of the 'state of the art' in the application of computing and technology. The titles in this peer-reviewed series are critical reading not just for experts in digital humanities and technology issues, but for all scholars working in arts and humanities who need to understand the issues around digital research.
This series has now been joined by a complementary Companions to the Digital Humanities series (https://www.routledge.com/Routledge-Companions-to-the-Digital-Humanities/book-series/RCDH).
