A National Partnership for Information Strategy and Technology on Public Service

数字政府的一个普遍问题是研究成果与政府IT从业者之间的巨大差距，无论是政策上还是技术上。在学术方面，发表跨学科的研究成果是困难和冒险的，尤其是对一个年轻的研究人员来说，这是大多数数字政府工作的特点。在政府方面，很难找到一份能有效传达研究成果的期刊或杂志。这笔拨款将审查可能与数字政府相关的现有期刊和杂志领域，对研究人员和政府工作人员进行调查，了解他们对期刊的需求，并在格式、受众、同行评议和可持续性（商业模式）方面描述此类期刊。

A common problem in digital government is the significant gap between research results and government IT practitioners, both policy and technical. On the academic side, it is difficult and risky, especially for a young researcher, to publish cross-disciplinary work, which is what most digital government work is. On the government side, it is difficult to find a journal or magazine which can effectively convey research findings. This grant will examine the existing field of journals and magazines which may be relative to digital government, conduct a survey of researchers and government staff as to their needs for a journal, and characterize such a journal in terms of format, audience, peer review, and sustainability (business model).
