Abstract
First paragraph: Like other journals, we have a key focus on innovative empirical studies, which in our case advances our understanding of issues relating to the information polity. We are open to publishing both qualitative and quantitative research-based studies and we strongly encourage authors to submit studies based on innovative methodologies, such as living lab studies or survey experiments. This issue contains highly interesting contributions on digitalization as organizational work (Gidlund & Heidlund, 2023), e-credentials markets (Schedler et al., 2023), public sector digital transformation barriers (Eden et al., 2023), social media consumption and political distrust in Egypt (Ghorbani et al., 2023) and media users’ and professionals’ responses to personal data receipts (Van den Broek & Van Buggenhout, 2023). Such unique contributions to knowledge will continue to form the backbone of the journal. However, our ambition goes further than this. We aim to be a broad platform for learning and debate for the academic community of e-government scholars.
