“…The moderator's role in the debate is specifically analyzed in [14]. With regards to grounds for moderator interference (unclear opinions, inconsistent argumentation, over generalizing, deviation from the theme and violation of the terms of use), they do seem to enhance debate quality, although participants may have difficulty understanding them.…”

“…With regards to grounds for moderator interference (unclear opinions, inconsistent argumentation, over generalizing, deviation from the theme and violation of the terms of use), they do seem to enhance debate quality, although participants may have difficulty understanding them. Future works will aim to evaluate whether the proposed moderator interference categories were well assigned [14]. From a technical perspective, future studies could address how moderation could be partially automatized, perhaps using ontologies and semantic web for to structure debate, and how debate content could include a recommendation system based on a social network analysis.…”

“…The debate is organized as it is proposed in the Democratic Interaction Language -DemIL [11], which classifies opinions and their supporting arguments in the categories 'for,' 'against' and 'neutral.' Moderation activities in the debate are performed by the citizens who proposed to do so [14]. Due to the way it is structured, retrieving information in the environment is easy, as is quantitative and statistical analysis of data.…”

Social networks change the way users relate on the Web. One type of social network is the virtual community, which has a social structure that connects citizens and the government. Integrating consultation and deliberative environments for popular participation in democratic issues and creating virtual communities to enhance member relationships makes it possible to model decision-making processes. This was behind the development, testing and analyzing of the Democratic Citizenship Community (DCC). The DCC has interaction and communication resources such as citizens' profiles, debate, voting, an information library, a social space and users' help. An experimental analysis generated discussion about and suggestions for improving the interaction and communication resources. Press and the authors. All rights reserved 74 C. Maciel et al. / The democratic citizenship communityin society, modifying people's social lives by bringing technological innovation to them to support the exchange of communication and experiences. A preliminary diagnostic evaluation [12] showed that today's virtual communities (VCs) have many social characteristics, are not directed toward democratic debate, and do not stimulate citizen participation in decision-making with their government.In light of these factors, the Government-Citizen Interactive Model [12] was proposed to address the different phases in a consultative and deliberative process.The Democratic Citizenship Community (DCC) was projected [13], developed and tested [15] based on the Government-Citizen Interactive Model. The DCC proposes a specific set of interaction and communication resources: citizens' profiles, debate, voting, an information library, a socialization space and users' help. This paper comments on the DCC in a pilot case study [14]. The experiment analysis generates discussion on and suggests improvements for the interaction and communication resources employed.

In this article we present a bibliometric analysis of journal articles, conference papers and book chapters published internationally by researchers affiliated to Portuguese institutions in the subject of e-government in the past ten years. The Scopus® database was used as source. The identified articles were analyzed concerning year of publication, citations, topics addressed, scope, methods used, and authors and their affiliation institutions. A benchmark exercise was also performed by comparing Portuguese bibliometrics with all the other countries in the European Union. We conclude that e-government research in Portugal still has a substantial room for improvement. This is apparent from the small number of researchers and institutions involved in egovernment research, the limited number of topics addressed, and the results of the international benchmark. By establishing the evolution and current standing of e-government research in Portugal our conclusions are useful to researchers in the area of egovernment, and to research managers and research policy makers.

In this paper, we present an investigation of the Portuguese research on e-government. Bibliometric techniques are used to explore all the documents published by researchers affiliated to Portuguese institutions from 2005 to 2014 and listed in the Scopus® database. Research production, impact, source types, language used, subject areas, topics, scopes, methods, authors, institutions, networks, and international cooperation are analysed and discussed. We conclude that so that Portuguese research on e-government can evolve, more researchers should be involved, international cooperation should be developed, and more attention should be given to the study of the reasons behind the very good results of the country in the provision of e-government services, as measured by the international rankings. By establishing the evolution and current standing of e-government research in Portugal and exploring the ways forward, our conclusions may prove useful to e-government researchers, research managers, and research policy makers.
