ACM Launches OA Digital Government Journal
ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) rolled out the inaugural issue of Digital Government: Research and Practice (DGOV), an interdisciplinary OA journal studying the impact of technology on governance and public institutions. Contributors will include academics, practitioners, designers, and technologists who will be writing for audiences such as “academics, researchers, data science practitioners, students, government officials and policymakers, businesses that work with governments, journalists, legal experts, teachers, librarians, and individual citizens and advocacy groups.” The first issue explores the state of digital democracy and features an interview with Vint Cerf, an early internet pioneer.“Digital technologies have reshaped how governments function at every level, as well as how citizens interact with government and each other,” says Soon Ae Chun, the journal’s co-editor-in-chief. “We emphasize research and practice in our title because we felt there was a void among publications in the government informatics field geared toward practitioners. We hope Digital Government: Research and Practice will be a venue where people from around the world will share their best practices and latest innovations.” For more information, read the press release.
