Abstract

This study aims to identify the knowledge structure and patterns of interdisciplinary convergence of Digital Humanities (DH) in South Korea. To this end, citation frequency analysis and journal co-citation network analysis were conducted on 563 DH-related articles and 14,068 references indexed in the Korea Citation Index from 2005 to 2025. The study revealed that despite quantitative growth, the field remained concentrated in traditional humanities such as history, classical literature, and Korean literature. While research on classical text translation and database construction formed a distinct domain, direct linkages with technological fields were relatively weak. These findings indicate a priority on humanities data compilation over the methodological application of digital technologies. The study revealed strong internal cohesion within the humanities and limited technical convergence, indicating a need for active integration with technological disciplines.
