Digitalization of the Humanities and Social Sciences In numerous scientific fields of application, revolutionary new possibilities are developing as digitalization progresses, for example in working with texts, with spaces, with objects, with complex system relationships and much more. In addition to AI applications that process ever larger amounts of text and data, other digital methods are also constantly evolving, such as remote sensing, geophysical prospection, computer vision and image recognition, to name but a few. New digital tools, applications and methods are not only changing the research and publication process and thus the working culture in science, they also offer potential for innovative and inter-/transdisciplinary forms of collaboration, e.g. through the digital availability of sources, new applications for collaboration in the research process or the replicability and reproducibility of research results.
