In Which Languages Are We Citing When We Write about Humanidades Digitales?

It is increasingly common to read papers by researchers from multiple disciplines about the prevalence of the English language as the lingua franca in academic publishing, also pointing to linguistic discrimination by reviewers or scientific editors. These problems can also be identified in the field of the Digital Humanities on a global scale. But do we, Spanish-speaking digital humanists, publish in our languages when the opportunity presents itself? And are we quoting our linguistic colleagues?
Through a meta-analytic approach about the geopolitics and multilingualism in English and Spanish-speaking DH, we examine 9,580 bibliographic references contained in 510 scientific articles published between 2014 and 2021. We want to draw attention to the communication and dissemination practices of knowledge in a community with great sociocultural, linguistic and geopolitical diversity, showing inequality in the number of citations of works on HD in languages other than English.
