Digital research in ancient Chinese characters reflects the adjustment and development of the traditional research model under the new condition of information transmission. Through this new research model, more innovative research areas can be opened up. Moreover, the operating criterion of empirical study will be elevated. Currently there are several problems in this research model: overburdened work in the technical area; weak support of existing research and the absence of necessary Chinese information technology. The further realms we can expect are: digital means and platforms will bring a new vision of paleographic research; the development of the digital platform on the basis of resource sharing and cooperation; the development of the function of supervision on digital platform over criterion of the paleographic research.

基于数字化的全面量化模式本研究，虽然相对传统古文字研究而显“另类”，但却与汉字传输方式处理手段的时代进步相联系，并有助于消除传统研究模式所积淀的某些消极状况。本研究的主要创获：新的研究方面和研究层次的开辟；大量补正相关研究专题的既有研究成果；实证性操作规范的提升。本研究所面临的主要问题：技术层面的工作负担过重；既有研究基础的支撑偏弱；中文信息技术有所缺位。本研究的不足：海量的基础材料属性鉴别的精确性尚待提升；研究层次的深度尚待进一步探求。本类研究的未来发展，需要形成全球研究者可以共享的通用古文字资料数字化平台，并在此基础上，努力实现如下几点：发挥数字化的优势，将平台建设成为古文字研究新思维的的孵化器；形成数字化平台的资源共享及共建模式；培育平台的古文字研究学术规范的监督检验功能。
