-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] FW: [JoCI] Special Issue: Community Informatics and Open Government Data Datum: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:18:59 -0300 Von: michael gurstein gurstein@gmail.com An: air-l@aoir.org, "'civicaccess discuss'" civicaccess-discuss@civicaccess.ca, "'AISWorld'" aisworld@lists.aisnet.org

Readers:

The Journal of Community Informatics has just published its latest issue at http://ci-journal.net/index.php/ciej. We invite you to review the Table of Contents here and then visit our web site to review articles and items of interest.

This special issue edited by Tim Davies and Zainab Bawa is being offered as a constructive contribution to the developing debates and practices of Open Government Data - as global infrastructures, technical architectures, and grassroots movements co-evolve. It is published as a rolling issue, with an initial set of papers made available in April 2012, and a further set of papers (currently going through the review process), and field notes (responding to emerging themes) to be published later in the year. Our hope is that this provides a way to combine the editorial and review processes of putting together a journal issue, with a rapidly emerging and evolving field, where developments far outpace the speed of conventional scholarly publishing.

Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,

Michael Gurstein, Ph.D. Editor in Chief: Journal of Community Informatics, Vancouver CANADA Phone 604-602-0624 gurstein@gmail.com
