Digital humanities (DH) is a scholarly lens through which computing methods and technological tools are used for the research of humanistic disciplines. The purpose of this study is to identify the current practicing situation of DH in the university libraries of Bangladesh.

Survey methods were used for gathering data using a well-structured questionnaire. The websites of different universities national and international organizations, and DH-related websites from different corners of the globe were also used for the gathering of data and information.

The findings revealed that there are some hindrances to practicing DH, such as lack of IT skills, funds and problems with intellectual property rights act practicing and provided some suitable suggestions for the advancement of DH in the university libraries of Bangladesh.

The outcome of this paper might be a valuable reference tool for researchers and professionals of the DH discipline. The insights and views of the respondents regarding computational tools and technologies obtained from this study are original and unique in nature.

The purpose of this study is to review the literature on digital content management (DCM) published between 2001 and 2021, as well as to provide insights and research directions for the future.

This study followed the systematic literature review framework PRISMA for reviewing existing literature on DCM. The PRISMA checklist helps the researcher in refining the reporting of the review paper. Data was collected from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases. A total of 136 documents were selected for analysis from Scopus and WoS.

Based on current papers, this study attempted to discuss some key DCM trends and themes. Seven themes have been identified in the literature: virtual reality and its implications on DCM; personal DCM; microservices based DCM; model for DCM; DCM using Bluetooth Low Emergency technology; DCM software; and DCM codification. This study identifies influential authors, top contributing countries, top contributing institutions, most cited papers, most common title words and contributions by fields.

The findings of this study, as well as future research projects, open the path for more research and contributions to the field.

The motivation for this paper emanates from the continuous success and sustainability of the Japanese agriculture, most remarkably in its technical sense. The agricultural extension services have traditionally been regarded as a bridge between research laboratories and farmers, hence, the purpose of this paper is to explore the preferences and roles played by extension advisors in relation to knowledge creation and sharing among the advisors, farmers, and other stakeholders.

Data are collected through interviews with 11 principal and senior extension advisors and a consultant from different prefectures and organizations as well as questionnaires from 135 extension advisors in the Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.

Results show that the Japanese agricultural agencies are actively involved in facilitating an integrated knowledge creation and sharing initiatives within their organizations. On the other hand, the extension advisors, as intermediaries and catalysts, are the key links between farmers and the relevant agencies in terms of providing personalized and need‐based information for decision making by all parties concerned.

Future research may be conducted by other agro‐based economies and organizations with regards to creating, sharing, and streamlining knowledge towards achieving organizational objectives.

The findings of this paper have provided some insights on how knowledge is created and shared within a strategic sector of the economy and this could serve as an initial framework for leaders to create opportunities and space for such activities to be effectively carried out in their organizations.
