Abstract: The study explores the integration of digital humanities in education research, focusing on the application of digital tools and methodologies to enhance educational research and practice. Given the rapid advancement of technology in academia, Digital Humanities (DH) plays a significant role in fostering interdisciplinary studies, especially in language and humanities education. Despite its potential, research on DH in education lacks comprehensive bibliometric analysis, which this study addresses using Scopus Analyzer and VOSviewer software. A dataset of 603 publications was gathered, analyzed for trends, prolific authors, and collaborative networks. Results indicate an exponential growth in DH publications, especially post-2018, with significant contributions from the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. Keyword analysis reveals central themes around “artificial intelligence,†“digital literacy,†and “higher education,†suggesting that DH in education emphasizes the role of technology in developing skills and collaborative learning. Analysis of co-authorship trends reveals strong international partnerships, with the U.S. and U.K. leading in both publication volume and collaborative strength, while emerging contributions from Asia and Oceania reflect a growing global interest. This study concludes that DH in education is a rapidly evolving field, marked by concentrated expertise in certain regions alongside expanding international engagement. The findings provide a foundational understanding of current research dynamics and highlight opportunities for future collaborations in digital humanities education.
