Scope
The Digital History section is devoted to publishing innovative and important papers that apply digital technologies to historical research. The definition of ‘digital history’ is broad and evolving; it is not the intention to provide a definition here other than to say that we are interested in publishing articles concerned with research that contributes to the study of history by using digital resources or methods. These can include, but are not restricted to: text encoding, text mining and corpus linguistics, record linkage, web technologies, e-Research, geographical information systems and spatial history, quantitative analysis, visualization, network analysis, augmented reality, and virtual reality. We are primarily interested in works that use these technologies and approaches to deliver new insights and findings in applied historical research in any period or geographical area. We are also interested in papers that describe the development of new technologies, methods, and approaches that allow, or have the potential to allow, new insights to be made. We welcome submissions that explore how the digital technologies are changing the practice of history. We are not, however, interested in papers that simply describe the development of a database, corpus, or website, unless there are specific aspects of this development that are innovative and have a potentially broad relevance.Indexed in: Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, CLOCKSS, OpenAIRE

Digital History welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Digital History, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Digital History will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Digital Humanities.
