Digital Humanities and Digital Publishing: An Analytical Framework and Integration Mechanisms The rapid development of digital technologies has profoundly impacted the research and practice of both Digital Humanities (DH) and Digital Publishing (DP). This article aims to systematically explore the relationship between these two fields, their mechanisms for deep integration, and the new paradigms emerging from their convergence. Adopting a broad definition of digital publishing, the paper first illustrates how the unique disciplinary stance and values of DH provide a distinctive theoretical lens for examining DP. Based on this, it constructs and applies a four-dimensional analytical framework—encompassing "characteristics/features,""roles/functions,""methods/forms," and "processes/workflows"—to systematically reveal the integration pathways and interactive mechanisms between the two in areas such as content production, dissemination forms, knowledge organization, and ethical regulation. The explanatory power of this framework is further validated through case studies in academic publishing, cultural heritage preservation, and educational popularization, identifying "publishing-ization" as a key mechanism for transforming DH outcomes into DP products. The study concludes that the fusion of DH and DP signifies a fundamental shift from the delivery of traditional, static knowledge products to the evolution of a dynamic, open knowledge circulation network involving multiple participants. While their integrated development faces challenges in technology, talent, and copyright ethics, it also holds significant opportunities driven by policy and market forces. This research offers a systematic analytical framework to deepen the theoretical understanding and practical advancement of both digital humanities and digital publishing.
