IJEGR is seeking high quality manuscripts on all topics related to
electronic government.  Specifically, we are seeking manuscripts for
Volume 2 No. 2, April to June 2006.  Manuscripts may be research papers,
research notes, or papers from the practice of electronic government.  The
deadline for submission is October 1, 2005.  We encourage academics and
practitioners to submit articles related to the mission and coverage of
IJEGR.

Mission:
The mission of the International Journal of Electronic Government Research
is to publish the very best original scholarly research on the subject of
electronic government, broadly defined, and to publish top quality
articles about electronic government from the practice. To this end, we
invite submission of papers from a variety of disciplines and
perspectives.

Coverage:
The coverage of IJEGR is international and focused on original research in
electronic government applications, management, and policy. Areas of
interest include, but are not limited to the following:
•	Best practices in e-government
•	Electronic government applications
•	Governance and electronic democracy

•	Internal government processes and intranets
•	Measurement of performance
•	Strategic management of electronic government
•	Technology adoption and diffusion

Submission Guidelines:
IJEGR publishes research papers, research notes, papers from the practice
and, occasionally book reviews.

The Research Paper section publishes papers with significant original
research findings.  The research must be complete and make substantial
theoretical and/or empirical contributions to knowledge in the field.

If the manuscript is empirical, we welcome submissions that employ either
quantitative or qualitative methodologies or both.  For empirical
manuscripts, authors must clearly and concisely describe their research
methods, data or evidence, and analytical techniques.

Additionally, all manuscripts must be grounded in prior research and
scholarly literature relevant to the subjects being investigated.

Manuscripts that are essentially speculative in nature, that lack a
theoretical or empirical base, and that are not grounded in prior research
will not be considered.

The Research Note section publishes research that is novel and complete
but not as comprehensive as to qualify as a full research paper.

Along with the highly regarded peer reviewed research manuscripts in each
issue, the Government Practice section of IJEGR features practice-oriented
articles and case studies, selected or solicited by the Associate Editor
of Electronic Government Practice based on the usefulness to our readers.

Review Process:
We employ a double-blind review for all manuscripts deemed to be
consistent with our submission guidelines. Manuscripts for this call must
be received, in electronic format (WORD), no later than October 1, 2005.
All manuscripts must be sent directly to the editor at ijegr at umbc.edu.
Authors will be notified of the outcome of the review process. Any
question relating to the submission and acceptance process should be
directed to the journal’s editors.
