The 4th Industrial Revolution, or 2nd digital revolution, has brought about drastic changes in the economy and society, as technology develops at a rapid pace. Digital humanities take advantage of this technological evolution to uncover new ways to approach the humanities and the social sciences. In particular, the 4IR has enabled the development of new technologies that are facilitating the integration of virtual and physical environments in different digital humanities sectors, such as arts and culture. In addition, it helped digital humanities scholars to analyse massive amounts of data and apply machine learning algorithms to identify patterns, uncover new insights and approach cultural, historical, and literary phenomena in a more comprehensive and differentiated way. In the context of 4IR, the Semantic Web plays a crucial role in enabling machines and humans to access and use the vast amount of data generated by advanced technologies, by providing a common language and structure for data exchange and integration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
