Abstract: This paper attempts to understand the redistribution of academic materials by way of digital humanities from the perspective of “private-shared” consumption of academic materials. The study maintains that, first of all, digital humanities produce a response to the inherent contradictions of traditional humanities and scholars, trying to correct the negative externalities of the use of academic materials by technical means without sacrificing the “inherent property rights” of these materials. Secondly, digital humanities are the product of the union and agglomeration between scholars and scholars, between scholars and academia, between academia and technology, and between the rational calculation and value diffusion. It is not a pure academic phenomenon or a pure technical means, but a result from the embedding of academics and technology. Finally, digital humanities are one of the forms in which academic groups reallocate academic materials. After sharing the right to use individual data, it breaks through the marginal growth effect of “private” data consumption and contributes to the diffusion of academic resources, which is consistent with fair distribution. On this basis, digital humanities can be considered as a form of academic information redistribution based on technology and humanities.
