Studies in Digital Heritage (SDH) is a peer-reviewed academic journal established by the Office of Scholarly Publishing (OSP) and the Virtual World Heritage Lab at Indiana University. The mission of SDH is to promote the open exchange of information and knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and others who strive to improve the collection, use, management, preservation, and dissemination of Digitized Cultural Heritage. The vision of SDH is to be the premier forum where the scientific discussion among scholars can be developed, touching the entire gamut of Digital Heritage. SDH publishes peer-reviewed research articles and occasionally non-peer-reviewed materials (e.g., interviews and editorials) with biannual frequency. SDH is listed on the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and  SCOPUS. ISSN 2574-1748

Cover Image: false-color representation of a fragment of a Roman mosaic depicting a jaguar, part of the floor decoration of a 2nd–3rd century CE domus at the archaeological site of Saltara, Marche (Italy). This mosaic is the focus of the study presented in the article “GIS Approach for Mosaic Tesserae Recognition by Supervised Image Classification” by Vincenzo Alfio et al., which introduces a machine learning-based classification method applied to orthoimages of mosaics. The method categorizes individual tesserae, reduces the time and subjectivity associated with manual digitization, and identifies possible differences in tesserae arrangement and size, providing valuable insights for conservation and analysis.
