Information science and digital humanities: possible dialogues of a developing relationship – scientific articles in Brazil

Abstract

ABSTRACT Understanding the digital humanities as a transdisciplinary territory that aims at the dissemination, circulation, valuation and preservation of knowledge and research, as well as free access to its data and metadata through tools and possibilities that technology and the digital environment provide and identifying the Information Science as an interdisciplinary field that studies the information, its flows and processes, from the origins to its transformation into knowledge, one perceives an evident area of intersection between both. However, on what bases is this relationship being constituted? The general objective of this article is to identify the scientific production on Digital Humanities in the scope of Information Science in the Brazilian periodicals of the area. The research will be exploratory in a qualitative-quantitative approach, starting with a literature review in Information Science and Digital Humanities that will provide a comparative conceptual analysis between the two areas in question. Next, we will identify the periodicals of Information Science in Brazil and the articles published between 2011 (date of publication of the Manifesto of the Digital Humanities) and 2018, where the term "digital humanities" appears in the title of the article, in the keywords and / or in the abstract. After the identification of the articles, an analysis of the authors and abstracts will be made. This research is expected to understand the relationship between information science and the digital humanities, measuring the scientific production of the first and second, knowing their actors and origins and analyzing this relationship.
