  • H2D|Digital Humanities Journal

    Welcome to Revista H2D, a leading publication dedicated to the exploration and advancement of Digital Humanities. As the digital age continues to revolutionize the way we understand, interpret, and interact with the humanities, our journal serves as a platform for academic discourse, innovative research, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Our mission is to bridge the gap between humanities research and cutting-edge technological advancements to address the societal challenges outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda and the new demands of the job market.

    Since 2024, H2D Journal has taken on a new dimension as an interinstitutional journal. This effort brings together a diverse team of chief editors from Brazil and Angola, with the main coordination based in Portugal. This international collaboration underscores our commitment to fostering a global dialogue in Digital Humanities, leveraging the rich academic traditions and perspectives of the Lusophone world.

    Recognizing the inherently interdisciplinary nature of Digital Humanities, we strive to create a space where researchers from various fields—ranging from literature, history, and philosophy to computer science, social sciences, engineering, medicine, and information science, among others—can collaborate and contribute to a vibrant academic community.

    Our goal is to promote a dynamic academic environment where researchers, educators, and professionals can share their perspectives on the transformative impact of digital tools and methodologies on the humanities. In this context of transdisciplinary dialogue, we invite both the academic and non-academic communities to submit scholarly articles, reports on experiences/pedagogical projects, and presentations of technological resources/tools, as well as other contributions that promote the value of the humanities through a heuristic engagement with technology. These works will be published in two annual volumes, one per semester, under an open-access regime. Submissions may be written in Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, or English. We welcome works exploring, among other topics, the following:
