“…Our paper further contributes to a growing discussion of the role of citizens in the space of datafying, digitizing and automating government. Especially those who tend to be excluded due to, for example, limited digital skills (e.g., Ginosar, 2021; Ingrams, 2019).…”

In their efforts to digitize public service delivery, countries increasingly use algorithms based on mathematical models, data and/or a combination of different administrative datasets to issue decisions, but recent studies point towards challenges around citizens' understanding, accessing, and filing objections to such automated decisions. This paper focuses on the social infrastructure supporting citizens that struggle with accessing such services. To address this, we ask: How does the social infrastructure affect administrative burdens associated with digital government services? This is studied in the Dutch context through expert interviews and observations of support programs in libraries. We find that although libraries as primary sites for these services may pose the disadvantage of being more difficult to reach for low-literate citizens, advantages are their organizational structure at the local level as well as their currently changing role to include a growing range of services, including (digital) skills courses.

“…POWER OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE FOR PUBLIC POLICY New technologies are often accompanied by new governance challenges and new interests that policymakers must address. In an in-depth case study of net neutrality policy in Israel, Ginosar (2021) examines how different stakeholders shape the political processes surrounding the governance of this complex policy issue and the challenges that arise in terms of integrating different stakeholders and societal values into the policy process.…”

Review of Policy Research (RPR) is a journal of public policy. An important tradition of the journal is its emphasis on multidisciplinary perspectives. Public policy can combine political science and other social science approaches with disciplines such as psychology, ecology, geography, and engineering. Multidisciplinarity is fruitful for all fields of public policy. It has a special tradition in the fields of science, technology, environment, energy and health, among others. What is often interesting here is the special relationship between technological, social, and political change.This sixth and last issue of the RPR volume 38 (2021) contains contributions dealing with different types of technologies and the associated policies and societal and political implications of technological change. New technologies and digitalization processes do not only affect different policy areas, such as labor market, health, agriculture, and environment. These processes also have transformative power for science and the way we research and teach them in public policy. This issue raises some of the challenges and opportunities that new technologies present for policy scholars. With a focus on technological change and the digital transformation, the issue represents one of RPR's main goals: to analyze the multiple interactions of technologies with the policy process.The emergence of Big Data analytics technologies offers public policy scholars new opportunities to integrate these sources into their research and teaching. El-Taliawi et al. (2021) examine the extent to which Big Data technologies are already being used in public policy. Using a large comparative study of research output and education policy, they find that only individual institutions are currently taking advantage of the opportunities offered by new technologies. They conclude that integrating Big Data techniques in both research and teaching is a critical task to increase the future relevance of political science.
