Overview
Digithum is an open access academic journal aimed at academics, professionals, and students across the humanities and social sciences. It publishes research articles and results that address the knowledge society — the analysis of digital-era transformations in the objects of study of the humanities and social sciences — and the repercussions of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the study, teaching, and dissemination of these fields, as well as applications of ICT for those purposes. The journal is edited by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) in Spain and the Universidad de Antioquia in Colombia, through an international editorial board. It adopts a global approach to the knowledge society and the effects of ICT. Digithum operates a blind peer-review process: all articles are reviewed by at least one expert, and the arbitration system uses evaluators external to the publishing entity or institution. The journal provides immediate free access to its content under the principle that making research freely available to the public supports the global exchange of knowledge. It has been accepted and indexed in directories, catalogues, libraries, and databases including Scopus, DICE, DOAJ, LATINDEX, OAISTER, DIALNET, MIAR, DULCINEA, SHERPA/RoMEO, ULRICH's Periodicals, Contemporary Science Association, and the MLA - Modern Language Association Database. Its official website is hosted at digithum.uoc.edu, and it also maintains a blog.
