The 16th Scandinavian Workshop on E-Government (SWEG) will be held
30-31 January 2019 at the University of South-Eastern Norway
(USN), campus Vestfold. SWEG is a forum for discussing current
eGovernment research issues. The workshop is dedicated to open and
creative discussions about the current status of eGovernment
research and future directions. The focus is thus on informal
discussion rather than on formal conference presentations.
For SWEG 2019, we have (as always) a general theme of eGovernment
and eParticipation research, welcoming contributions focusing on a
wide area of topics. The focus areas of invited submissions thus
include, but are not limited to:
* eGovernment and privacy issues in relation to GDPR
* Welfare technologies in the public sector
* Automation of processes in public administration
* Values; co-creation of value, public values, value hierarchies
* E-Archives, recordkeeping and archival management
* Sustainability in eGovernment
* Big data in eGovernment
* Smart cities
* Social media and eGovernment services
* Open data and open innovation in eGovernment
* Open-source and open standards solutions in eGovernment
* Users and citizens in design, management, and implementation of
eGovernment
* Transparency and openness in eGovernment services
* Digital transformation vs digitization
* EGovernment evaluation (risk evaluation, decisions support
systems and benefit evaluation)
* Methodological reflections
* Theoretical reflections (such as the relationship of eGovernment
with the wider IS research area and other reference disciplines
such as political science, sociology, and media and communication)
We welcome contributions from a range of disciplines, such as
public administration, political science, information systems,
knowledge management, service management, economics, sociology,
and law. Research may range from empirical studies to pure
conceptual work. Each submission will be anonymously peer-reviewed
by two reviewers recruited among the researchers that submit
papers to the workshop. By submitting a paper to SWEG, you agree
to review up to two papers.
The workshop is intended as a venue for discussion and feedback,
so we invite full research papers, work-¬in-¬progress, as well as
shorter position papers. Each paper will be allocated time for a
short presentation; however discussion should be the main focus of
the allotted time for each paper.
Position papers should be maximum 1500 words (approx. 4 pages),
and should clearly and distinctly address one or more issues
pertinent to e-¬government research including research methods and
quality as well as focus of studies. Full papers should be max
7000 words, while research in progress should be max 3000 words.
Irrespective of the form, all submissions should be designed to
support in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the
workshop. It might be a good idea to present some questions/issues
for discussion if you have specific areas of the paper you want to
discuss.
Contributions with a focus on Scandinavian countries are welcome,
but the forum is not limited to the Scandinavian research
community and aims at including a wide variety of perspectives on
e-government research. As in previous SWEG, instead of publishing
proceedings formally, we will use this workshop to prepare papers
for publication in established outlets. Consequently, material
presented at SWEG will not be copyright protected and can be
submitted to other conferences or journals without further
questions.
