[EGOV LIST] Call for Papers: Administrative Sciences Special Issue on New Technologies in Public Administration

[Shefali Virkar]

Dear Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to submit your current research work to the forthcoming special issue of Administrative Sciences on "New Technologies and Institutional Change in Public Administration".

Administrative Sciences is an international, peer-reviewed, open access Q2 journal on organisation studies indexed by Web of Science and Scopus. Our special issue focuses on investigating the particular role played by digital technologies and applications in the implementation of public sector reforms, and their integration as a means of enhancing the quality of public sector management and institutional capacities. We welcome contributions that cover the foundational approaches, practical application, tools, case studies and theoretical frameworks necessary for exploring the possibilities and challenges which public administrations face when digitally redesigning internal and external processes, procedures and services, as well as what make these and the organisation more sustainable, effective and efficient.

Particular emphasis may be placed on those qualities of new digital technologies that have a tangible impact on public sector processes, procedures, functions and institutions, as well as a focus on values, culture and shared understanding. Research papers submitted may cover both organizational and technical aspects and could be theoretical or empirical in their approach. Submissions taking an interdisciplinary perspective are strongly encouraged. Furthermore, we aim to promote the application of diverse research methods to the study of this multifaceted discipline; including best practices, case studies, design approaches, literature reviews, workshops, and expert interviews.

The full Call for Papers can be accessed here<https://www.mdpi.com/journal/admsci/special_issues/public_administration>. The deadline for the submission of completed research articles is 30 November 2022.
