“…In rural and less economically developed areas, ICT infrastructure is scarce, and associated activities are dependent on the access to infrastructure and the quality of the Internet connections (Freeman et al, 2016 ). Early ICT specialists saw the Internet as a facilitator of economic (Martins & Veiga, 2022 ) and social progress, and one of the key reasons for this forward-thinking philosophy was the Internet’s perceived role as a geographical unifier (Khatiwada, 2010 ). The fact that the Internet exacerbates spatial inequality complicates efforts to bridge the digital divide (Ferreira et al, 2021 ).…”

Many communities and territories in developing countries experience significant gaps in access to and use of information and communication technology (ICT), which is viewed as a major impediment to socioeconomic and health-related vulnerabilities. Geographic considerations, on the other hand, as well as variations in motivation for ICT usage and technology adoption within and across nations, as well as between cultures, have exacerbated the digital divide. This paper investigates disparities in access to and utilization of ICT in 31 Iranian provinces from 2011 to 2020. The research discovers evidence that family income and the number of R&D centers affected the formation of the digital divide, albeit the degree of the split has fluctuated through time and space. This study discovered that digital inequality is associated with social exclusion throughout Iranian regions, and it went on to try to better understand the underlying issues and potential solutions. In this regard, some policy avenues are suggested for government action, particularly for marginalized socioeconomic groups, such as the provision of infrastructure, training and skill augmentation, and the easing of digital services supplied by the government or private sector.

“…Then, E-Government can also be distributed as a model of -electronic online service rendering state service to the public and business‖ (Alisherovna Usmanova, 2021). In E.G., the platform used is -Information and Communication Technology (ICT)‖ to support delivery services (João Martins & Veiga, 2022;Osman & Zablith, 2021;Ismail et al, 2022;Bastidas et al, 2023). Therefore, this e-service is necessary for accelerating information access, service quality, transparency, and public participation (Hidayat et al, 2023;Nguyen & Tran, 2022).…”

This study aims to determine the research development with the Theme E-Government Development Index (EGDI) from 2003-2023. The method used in this study is qualitative with literature study. This research data source uses the Scopus database to identify research themes related to the EGDI for the 2003-2023 period, with a total of 240 article documents indexed by Scopus. Data analysis in the study used VOSviewer and NVivo 12plus to analyze the data and classify the research theme. The results showed that 2011 became the highest year in published Scopus-indexed articles. China is the country that has the highest contribution to research publications. Aii, Janowksi, Khawula, Khan, and Marthins were the main contributors to contributing publications. Then, the topics of electronic commerce, government data processing, government, e-government, and electronic health food became the highest frequency score for occurrences. The system is the most crucial topic in every research publication under the Theme of EGDI indexed by Scopus from 2003-2023. This research contributes theoretically to measuring e-government development in a country and practical in public service ICT innovation.

“…6 SeeAndersen et al (2010) for an earlier meta-analysis of the literature on e-government's impacts. More recently, Veiga and Rohman (2017) andElbahnasawy (2021) suggested that e-government decreases the size of the shadow economy, whileMartins and Veiga (2022) argued that it could facilitate business.…”

Electronic government innovations have been a critical development in public administration in recent years. Many countries have implemented e‐government policies to enhance efficiency and transparency and combat corruption. This paper examines the impact of e‐government on corruption using longitudinal data for more than 170 countries from 2002 to 2020. The empirical results suggest that e‐government serves as a deterrent to corrupt activities. We analyse which e‐government domains affect corruption, which types of corruption are more affected by e‐government and the circumstances under which e‐government is more effective in reducing corruption. The empirical results suggest that online service completion and e‐participation are important features of e‐government as an anticorruption tool. Evidence suggests that e‐participation reduces corrupt legislature activities, public sector theft, executive bribery, and corrupt exchanges. The potential of e‐government to deter corruption is higher in countries where corruption is moderate or high and economic development is lower. Higher levels of GDP per capita, foreign direct investment, and political rights are also associated with lower levels of corruption.
