“…Mainly, platforms such as Wikipedia show the potential of co-production. For its part, the government has also made platforms to intercommunicate between areas and sectors (Scholl et al 2012;Linders, 2012;Fedorowicz et al 2014. Panagiotopoulos 2014.…”

According to the contributions of several authors, the Open Government (OG) concept is maturing and moving toward its consolidation as a new field of multidisciplinary knowledge with its own dynamics. However, little is known about how it is developing that path, if it is really generating its own characteristics and what is its scope in terms of the creation of an academic community. This article makes a systematic review or meta-evaluation of the literature on OG for 5 years (2011 to 2015) of the three magazines most recognized for their production and quality of content in the theme: Government Information Quarterly, Information Polity and eJournal of eDemocracy and Open Government. This article analyzes a total universe composed of 189 articles, classified into different categories that try to answer three research questions: How is the OG analyzed? (Study Design, Research Techniques, Methodological Approach) Where is the OG analyzed? (University Departments, Host Country of the Universities and Institutions, Level of Government, Analyzed Country/Areas) What are the most analyzed topics and the most prominent concepts in the study of OG? (Main Topic, Keywords). Article data reveal the key features of OG analysis: still little quantitative and explicative-correlational studies, very focused on the countries of the Anglo-American area, and with very diverse interests ranging from open data, e-government to social media to co-production. In addition, with the latter, it can be confirmed to what extent a scientific community has been created around the OG as well as establishing some conclusions on the development of OG in the coming years.

“…It was possible to adhere to general egov guidelines without explicitly ground the work on them, but not many studies did succeed to comply with these guidelines. The risks of not applying a specific egov DR approach (as presented in this paper) are that policy issues are not sufficiently taken into account in the design process and that a techno-centric approach is applied without sufficiently considering the workpractice and its institutional character and thus the need for a combined IT and work design (Fedorowicz & Dias, 2010;Fedorowicz et al, 2014;Iivari, 2015;Sein et al, 2011).…”

E-government design research: Towards the policy-ingrained IT artifact

This paper investigates whether design research in e-government should be conducted in some special way compared with standard models for design research. It reviews literature in egovernment and design research in order to generate an answer to this research question. The result of this review affirms that the policy character of e-government should determine the way that such design research is conducted. A tentative e-government design research model, consisting of different activities is formulated. This model consists of the following activities: theorizing, policy analysis, workpractice analysis, co-design and co-evaluation of IT artifact and workpractice. Three specific e-government design research principles are formulated: The policy principle, the co-design principle and the theorizing principle. One important result from this paper is the formulation of the concept of the policy-ingrained artifact as an important empirical outcome from e-government design research. A design research case study on social welfare allowances has been used for the generation as well as the validation of the proposed egovernment design research model.

“…This noted, there is a small but steady stream of academic research on ICT in criminal justice, policing and public safety (e.g., Chan, 2001;Dunworth, 2005;Manning, 2003). Very little of this literature focuses on PSN (exceptions include Gillespie, 2005;Williams and Fedorowicz, 2012;Fedorowicz et al, 2014;Jacobson, 2016). This literature emphasizes the need to plan for, effectively manage, and provide ICT-based services and access to data (and increasingly mobile access).…”

“…Given the renewed interest to see more cross-boundary collaboration (i.e., across both organizational and jurisdictional boundaries) in the public sector, scholars have begun to turn their attention to providing guidance on how to develop and manage such digitally enabled collaborations (e.g., Fountain, 2013Fountain, , 2015Fedorowicz et al, 2014) and encourage collaborative arrangements to managing shared resources (see also Dawes et al, 2004;Bryson et al, 2014;Yang and Wu, 2015). This literature emphasizes the importance of creating mechanisms to involve the many stakeholders of a cross-boundary collaboration in decisionmaking.…”

We focus on networked arrangements of digital resources that are shared among otherwise independent units to advance conceptual and empirical insights about their governance. We are motivated by the simple observation that, increasingly, independent organizations are engaging in shared activities, often relying on purpose-built digital infrastructures to support this move to inter-dependence. To advance current conceptualizations of networked governance, we draw on data from 42 public safety networks and use fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. We do so because fsQCA allows us to account for the realities of inter-dependence among the concepts and variables we consider and to illuminate the multiple viable governance patterns that are possible. The results show the importance of network-level governance competencies to manage stakeholders and information infrastructure to achieve high effectiveness of PSN. Analysis makes clear that there exist five configurations of PSN governance practices that enable high levels of network governance effectiveness. Common to all these configurations are the network-level competence in managing both stakeholders and the digital infrastructure, suggesting these are necessary (but not sufficient) network-level governance competencies. Building from the analysis, we advance the role of specific network-level governance competencies, and the current conceptualization of network governance more broadly.
