Digital Humanities for Higher Education Synonyms Humanities computing; Digital resources for the humanities; Humanities informatics Definition Digital Humanities (DH) covers a set of disciplines that cooperate in order to study, edit, teach and disseminate social and cultural heritage and dynamics thanks to digital tools. The most inclusive definition of the term "humanities" reflects both the human and social sciences (including media studies), and the corpuses and heritage they work on. The term "digital" refers to all the methods and techniques used to transform any object (text, sound, image, video or artefact) into digital data, the algorithms used to process these data (analysis, curation, conservation and edition) and the techniques used to render the results on a variety of media (visualisation, 3D printing, acoustic immersion, electronic art, etc.). DH is an interdisciplinary field bringing together a community of scholars and practitioners (archivists, librarians, etc.). However, the definition and limits of DH are subject to lively debates, especially with respect to who is in and who is out. The most restrictive definition of DH refers to a community of people who like to make things (code, applications, prototypes, digital resources, etc.), including in a class room, rather than devote their time to studying, reading and writing. In this sense, DH differs from the research and teaching associated with the traditional humanities.

This article presents a vision for a scholarly communication research infrastructure for social sciences and humanities (SSH). The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the pressing need to access research outputs without the traditional economic and temporal barriers. This article explores the current scholarly communication landscape, assessing the reasons for the slower uptake of open access in SSH research. The authors discuss such frontiers as commercial interests, sources of academic prestige and discipline-specific genres. This article defines and discusses the key areas in which a research infrastructure can play a vital role in making open scholarly communication a reality in SSH: (1) providing a federated and easy access to scattered SSH outputs; (2) supporting publication and dissemination of discipline-specific genres (e.g. monographs, critical editions); (3) providing help with evaluation and quality assurance practices in SSH; (4) enabling scholarly work in national languages, which is significant for local communities; (5) being governed by researchers and for researchers as a crucial factor for productive, useful and accessible services; (6) lastly, considering the needs of other stakeholders involved in scholarly communication, such as publishers, libraries, media, non-profit organisations, and companies. They conclude that a scholarly-driven, inclusive, dedicated infrastructure for the European Research Area is needed in order to advance open science in SSH and to address the issues tackled by SSH researchers at a structural and systemic level.
