Purpose:
Review the current research status of the theory, techniques, and practice of digital humanities in Taiwan.
Methods:
Select the 8 issues of the Journal of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities from its inception in 2018-2021, and the papers of the 5-year International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities from 2017 to 2021 as the research data, and conduct text analysis of the collected 252 articles.
Results:
From the statistical analysis results, the number of practical articles is the largest, followed by tools and techniques, and the least number of theoretical articles. Text tools and literature research are the most concentrated aspects of digital humanities research in Taiwan.
Limitations:
It still needs to be further compared with the current research status of digital humanities in Mainland China.
Conclusions:
Digital humanities in Taiwan focuses on the development of tools and techniques, and practical applications of literature and history, and focuses on Taiwan's native culture to form its own digital humanities research characteristics.
