Impact de la discipline scientifique sur la lecture/écriture numérique : étude de terrain auprès des lecteurs tunisiens
Résumé
This article aims to study reading behaviors and practices among Tunisian researchers according to the scientific disciplines to which they belong. The work is based on a questionnaire survey conducted in 2019 among 707 readers in Greater Tunis. The main results of this study show that readers belonging to soft sciences in general are avid readers, whether in the traditional paper-based environment or in the digital environment. An evolving trend towards digital book reading by SHS readers. However, less collaborative work than that belonging to the exact and applied sciences. This turning point experienced by the soft sciences finds its foundation in the expression of digital humanities offering, among other things, open access to different corpora and digital literary, cultural and historical funds in addition to the scientific fund. With digital technology, everything is transformed not only in terms of the migration of knowledge to digital media but also the creation and production of this knowledge has migrated to digital. A new field of research is thus opening up in the human and social sciences, that of digital literature and art.
