The Magic 20K Barrier has been Crossed: Now Listing 20,483 References of Peer-reviewed Research Articles in the English Language

Version 20.5 of the Digital Government Reference Library (DGRL) has been published as of December 18, 2024. The library now contains  20,483 references of predominantly English-language, peer-reviewed work in the study domains of digital government, digital governance, and digital democracy.

This marks a 2.8% increase in references from version 20.0 (June of 2024) and a 5.6% increase from version 19.5 (December of 2023). This past publication period has continued to be another good one for Digital Government-related publishing adding another 4-digit number (1,093) of new peer-reviewed academic references within the past 12 months.

Curation of the DGRL has been provided for two decades by teams at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA/USA under the guidance of Prof. Hans J. Scholl. Version 20.5 (this version) is the first, which marks the transition of the DGRL to its new home at the Center for E-Governance (CEG) at the University of Continued Education (Danube University), Krems, Austria. The curation at CEG will be guided by Associate Professor Gabriela Viale Pereira and her team. Version 21.0 (slated for June 15, 2025) will be hosted at CEG, Krems, Austria.

The DGRL has been strengthening its role as an indispensable tool for Digital Government scholars. In particular, reviewers of paper submissions are reported to rely heavily on this reference library. Packaged in a zip file, bibTeX, RIS, and Endnote (package) versions are available. Mendeley or Zotero versions can easily be created by importing from RIS or bibTeX files. Please get back to us in case of any errors or omissions. Thank you for your interest and cooperation.

Acknowledgement: No curator can do the work alone. Under the curator and editorship of Hans J. Scholl, the DGRL has been maintained and expanded over two decades with the help of teams led by Jan Boyd and Galen Guffy and graduate student team members Colin Anderson, Andrea Berg, Emily Cunningham, Erika Deal, Gary Gao, Leslie Harka, Kreg Hasegawa, Jackie Holmes, Julia Hon, Grace Landers, Christine Lee, Andrew Mckenna-Foster, Jessie Novotny, Marie Peeples, Hannah Robinson, Richard Robohm, Kelle Rose, Stephanie Rossi, Christopher Setzer, and Daniel Wilson. Andrea Chapman at the Center for E-Governance, Krems, Austria, has been instrumental in preparing the current version.
