we would like to announce our new Call for Papers! JeDEM.org: Open Access E-Journal for Open Government and E-Democracy Special Issue 01/2014: Open Government Data and Open Policies Guest Editors Ina Schieferdecker, Fraunhofer FOKUS, Germany Marijn Janssen, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands Tim Davies, University of Southampton, UK Johann Höchtl, Danube University Krems In efforts to increase openness, transparency and participation, governments around the world have drafted Open Government policies and established Open Data as an integral part of modern administration. Open data and public sector information has been held out as a powerful resource to support good governance, improve public services, engage citizens, and stimulate economic growth. The promises have been high, but the results have been modest so far and more and there are more and more critical sounds. Policies have not resulted in gaining the desired benefits and implementations have been criticized for its technology orientation and neglecting the user perspective. These policies and implementations are now under scrutiny, with important questions to be asked about: whether the results justify the efforts; about how different outcomes from open data can be secured; and who is benefiting from open data in different countries and contexts? Please find all information about the call and author guidelines at: http://www.jedem.org/announcement/view/12 Important Dates Call out: 24 April 2014 Submission deadline: 30 July 2014 Start of peer review: 1 August 2014 End of peer review: 1 September 2014 Editorial Decisions: 15 September 2014 Authors revisions: 20 October 2014 Publishing: 30 October 2014 We look forward to receiving your papers and work.
