College of Arts and Commerce, Ahmedabad on Role of Computer Applications in research methodology for Humanities and Social Sciences On 22nd/ 23 rd October 2013 1 Concept Note Two days Workshop on Role of Computer Applications in research methodology for Humanities and Social Sciences Over the two mostrecent decades wehave witnessedan increasing reliance on communication and information technologies in knowledge creation and communication processes. Almost every academic discipline has been affected by the ubiquitous and innovative nature of technologiesas information and communication technologies (ICTs) become tools for knowledge production, objects of study, or form a new disciplinary domain. Accounts of new media implementations and explorations in the humanities and social sciences are increasingly presented under the digital humanities rubric. This increasingly common catchphrase entails a range of ICT–related initiatives — such as digital libraries, software usage, visualization, text mining, geographicinformation systems (GIS), multimedia, social networking, and teaching with technology, open access, and digital culture. The goal of this workshop is to explore the field labeled as ‘digital research tools’ tounderstand the meaningsassociated withit fromtheperspectives of research scholars in social sciences and humanities. It is basedon a study thatinvestigated how ICTs support the research and scholarly discourse of humanities scholars as well as how such scholars perceive new media. Within this context, ICTs denote digital content, involving such media as digital collections and databases; search engines for searching, discovering, retrieving, and verifying information; and, communication applications such as e–mail, mailing lists, blogs, and wikis that enable communication and collaboration among research scholars. This workshop focuses on theinterpretation of digital humanities and social sciences based on the accounts of the study’s informants. The workshopwillstartwith a tourto INFLIBNET to illustrate the range of ICT–based initiatives that are associated with thedomain.Then,it willdescribe the goals and the methodology of the researchthat formed the basis for this analysis. 2 The workshop shall concentrate primarily how use of computer applications has changed research in the humanities and social sciences.Besides creating digitized version of books and journals, it is offering us new opportunities to collect, describe, and interpret information for research in humanities and social sciences. Now we can analyse a large amount ofdata and examine relationships among variables inthis data rather too quickly than before. We can also analyse such data differently using computer applications. For example, we can use text mining, video screencapture, eye tracking technology to analyse data;alongwith data, other media datacanbe examined, and even combinedwith other data.Texton web sites,blogs, and other socialnetworks offers data for social or cultural studies research, and they can be analysed using social network analysis software.

It isalso believed that our researchers currently lack in those skills and understanding; and therefore, they need training; and this workshop aims to develop skills in collecting, repurposing, and organizing data for computer-assisted analysis.
