[EGOV LIST] [dg.o 2024] CALL FOR PAPERS: Bachelor/Master Student Track on Digital government

[Chungpin(仲彬)]

Dear colleagues,

Do you have talented Bachelor and Master students and want to give them
some more insights on how academia works in the digital government
discipline? Then our upcoming Bachelor and Master Student Track at next
year’s dg.o conference (dg.o 2024) is the right thing for you. Our track
addresses Bachelor and Master students and encourages them to submit and
present their work at the conference. With this format, we aim to provide
students with a first-hand experience of how research works and deepen
their interest in academia. We want to attract the original work of
students, facilitate a constructive and developmental double-blind
peer-review process, and subsequent publication of their works. In contrast
to the general research tracks, Bachelor and Master students will be the
first authors of the papers in this track and present their work at the
conference. We encourage supervisors to act as co-authors to ensure a
scientifically guided paper development process. All topics in the area of
digital government are welcome. At the bottom, you can find further
information regarding the track.


We are looking forward to your submissions. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact us.

Kind regards,

Bettina Distel, University of Münster, Germany [

+++ CALL FOR PAPERS +++



*25th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o
2024)*

*11 – 14 June 2024 at the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan*



*Track 11: Digital Government: Bachelor and Master Student Track*

Submission Deadline: January 26, 2024



This track addresses Bachelor and Master students of study programs at the
intersection of public administration and digitalization/ICT. With this
track, we want to encourage students to submit their original works, such
as seminar theses or qualification theses, to present their work at the
conference, and thus to become active members of the digital government
community. We aim to provide students with a first-hand experience of how
research works and deepen their interest in academia. The format is
designed to empower students on their academic journey and to make their
work and achievements visible beyond individual programs or universities.
Students can submit their original works, both individual and group works
are welcome. However, we suggest that the supervisors act as co-authors and
facilitate a scientifically guided paper development process. While
formally the track follows the guidelines specified for the general tracks
(submission type, paper format, anonymized submission, double-blind peer
review), we encourage our reviewers to be particularly developmental and
constructive and to consider that for most of the students this will be
their first experience with a research paper. All submissions need to
follow the conference’s formal guidelines. As a subtitle, all submissions
must include the label “Student Track Paper”. All accepted research papers
will be published after the conference as part of the conference
proceedings. All topics in the area of digital government and the
conference’s overall scope are welcome, similarly the track does not impose
any restrictions regarding the papers’ methodology. We welcome both
theory-driven/conceptual and empirical papers. We are aware that for many
students travelling to Asia and paying the conference fee might not be
possible. We are currently in the process of considering funding
opportunities and support.
