The appearance of issue 9 of DIGITHUM once again renews the individual and institutional desires to create a digital academic and scientific research journal focused on the transformation and evolution of the human and social sciences in contemporary society.

The issue that we are presenting brings together the initial impetus of constant improvement and the efforts to gain in image and functions, and to position the journal in various international reference indexes which will allow us to establish the requirements and the mechanisms that ensure quality. DIGITHUM has been accepted in the two most important databases of scientific journals in Latin America, Redalyc and e–revistas. It has also been included in Intute, an evaluated directory of academic arts and humanities resources that has the support of six British universities.
