通过主题-方法组合分析,揭示数字人文中技术与人文的融合路径。
Exploring the Technical Knowledge Interaction of Global Digital Humanities: Three-decade Evidence from Bibliometric-based perspectives
- 提出主题-方法组合(TMC)新概念,捕捉研究主题与方法的共现关系。
- 基于大规模文献数据构建分析流程,发现30年来的知识演进模式。
- 适合关注跨学科研究、知识演化或学术分析方法的学者参考。
数字人文(DH)是将计算方法融入人文学科研究的交叉领域,其发展路径由研究主题与方法共同塑造。以往多数研究借助文献计量分析,从研究热点、合作网络和机构排名等维度考察DH,但常难以深入揭示技术进步与主题演进之间的内在关联,结论多停留在表面。为弥补这一不足,本文提出“主题-方法组合”(Topic-Method Composition, TMC)概念,指特定研究主题与对应方法的共现所形成的混合知识结构。通过分析TMC间的交互关系,可更清晰地展现数字技术与人文学科的融合过程。研究构建了融合文献计量、主题建模与网络分析的TMC工作流,应用于大规模文献数据,揭示了过去三十年数字人文的知识结构演变特征,为其他学科提供可迁移的分析工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Digital Humanities (DH) is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computational methods with humanities scholarship to investigate innovative topics. Each academic discipline follows a unique developmental path shaped by the topics researchers investigate and the methods they employ. With the help of bibliometric analysis, most of previous studies have examined DH across multiple dimensions such as research hotspots, co-author networks, and institutional rankings. However, these studies have often been limited in their ability to provide deep insights into the current state of technological advancements and topic development in DH. As a result, their conclusions tend to remain superficial or lack interpretability in understanding how methods and topics interrelate in the field. To address this gap, this study introduced a new concept of Topic-Method Composition (TMC), which refers to a hybrid knowledge structure generated by the co-occurrence of specific research topics and the corresponding method. Especially by analyzing the interaction between TMCs, we can see more clearly the intersection and integration of digital technology and humanistic subjects in DH. Moreover, this study developed a TMC-based workflow combining bibliometric analysis, topic modeling, and network analysis to analyze the development characteristics and patterns of research disciplines. By applying this workflow to large-scale bibliometric data, it enables a detailed view of the knowledge structures, providing a tool adaptable to other fields.
