It is a broad field of research and scholarly activity covering not only the use of digital methods by arts and humanities researchers and collaboration by digital Humanities, specialists with computing and scientific disciplines, but also how the arts and humanities offer distinctive insights into the major social and cultural issues raised by the development of digital technologies. Thus, Work in this field is necessarily collaborative, involving multiple skills, disciplines, and areas of expertise. In essence, this paper discusses the concept of digital Humanities and interdisciplinary research, its' impacts to arts and humanities scholars , students as well as offers the rudiments/patterns for doing research across all disciplines within arts , humanities and other areas of research thereto.
