5. Future Digital Government Publishing Strategies
Differences among groups
Although the overall patterns of willingness were strongly favorable, there were some interesting differences among groups in their degree of willingness to participate. In general, respondents who taught DG courses were more willing to contribute to a new journal and organize DG special issues in existing journals. In addition, respondents who published at least one practitioner-oriented paper were more willing to contribute to a new journal and organize DG special issues in existing journals. Those who publish both practitioner-oriented papers and academic articles were more willing to contribute to a new journal than people who publish for only one audience or the other. In terms of disciplinary differences, respondents in the political and public sector disciplines were most willing to participate in these different publishing strategies.
