Nuevas tecnologías y redes sociales en la investigación en Humanidades

Abstract

One of the most fascinating aspects about the World Wide Web is its ambiguous essence of both making the world miraculously accessible and at the same time empirically serendipitous. In this realm, the fact is that the general interest and the common knowledge of the average person had risen into new dimensions. This digital context paves a path of new possibilities to the ones that are ready to embrace these exciting tools and possibilities to the scientific community. Collaborative work, extended research network, visibility and existing communication and conversation channels are some of the ideas that we must favour and take under consideration in applying new technologies and social networks to research in Humanities. This artide provides some reflections on this issue and is to show specffic ways in which further progress is possible when we incorporate the meaningful technical advances.
