    Submissions need to follow the guidelines established for the dg.o conference. All submissions should use the conference proceedings submission template (with the exception of the doctoral colloquium). Prepare your article with Microsoft Word. Prepare your article with LaTeX.

    Each author can be a co-author of up to three papers. Each paper should be submitted to only one track; in case it is not followed, the last submission will be considered. Research and Management and Policy papers will be reviewed through a double-blind process. Therefore, author names and contact information must be omitted from the submission.

    Authors must choose a specific track while submitting it in EasyChair to assist the program committee in the review process. All submissions will be checked for plagiarism. In March 2025, registered authors will receive email notifications regarding the camera-ready submission guidelines and procedures.

    At least one author is expected to attend the conference to present the work. All accepted submissions require at least one author to be registered for the conference for it to be included in the conference proceedings. The authors of more than two papers can register for and present at most two co-authored papers. Some other co-author registration and presentation are required from the third paper onwards.

    SUBMISSION TYPES AND FORMATS:

    Research papers – double blind review: research papers present innovative digital government research results in the form of formal scholarly papers. Papers on any digital government topic and using any research methodology are welcome. Relevance to digital government problems, goals, or policies must be explicit. Research papers are limited to approximately 8,000 words and should follow the proceedings template.

    Management or policy papers – double blind review: research papers that describe and evaluate practical digital government projects or initiatives, discuss major policy themes, or present and evaluate management approaches to digital government initiatives and programs. Management or policy papers are limited to approximately 5,000 words and should follow the proceedings template.

    Panels: panel proposals should include information about the theme and goals of the panel, a summary of the digital government issues or questions that the panel will address, statements about the value of the discussion to conference attendees, and how well-suited the topic is to a panel discussion. In addition, the proposal should include information about the expertise of the moderator and panelists in the selected issues. Please include names, institutional affiliations, addresses, email, and phone numbers of the contact person, moderator, and presenter(s). Panel proposals are limited to approximately 2,500 words and should follow the proceedings template.

    Posters: poster summaries should outline the nature of the research, policy, or project and describe why the work will be of interest to dg.o attendees. Poster summaries are limited to approximately 2,500 words and should follow the proceedings template.

    System Demonstrations (Demo): system demonstrations should outline the nature of the system and describe why the demonstration is likely to be of interest to dg.o attendees. Demonstrations of interest include systems under development or in active use in research or practice domains. System demonstration summaries are limited to approximately 2,500 words and should follow the proceedings template.

    Short case practical report: specific for Track 24 – Digital Government Ecosystem Cases: collaboration for enhancing transformative innovations and overcoming challenges. Documents should share relevant practical cases, challenges faced, strategies used, and main results with the digital government community. These will be discussed during the special session Digital Government Ecosystem Gathering. Short case practical report summaries are limited to approximately 5,000 words.

    Workshops: workshops offer interactive sessions in which the workshop host and participants discuss and engage in activities designed to facilitate joint learning and further exploration of a particular subject. We seek workshop proposals on any e-government research or management topic. The proponents will be responsible for identifying and selecting participants for the workshop and conducting workshop activities. Workshop proposals are limited to approximately 2,500 words and should follow the proceedings template.

    Doctoral Colloquium: the doctoral colloquium is a highly interactive full-day forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and with senior faculty from a variety of disciplines associated with digital government research. Ph.D. students can submit papers describing their planned or in-progress doctoral dissertation covering any research areas relevant to digital government. Ideally, student participants will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and preliminary findings but have yet to reach the stage of defending their thesis. We expect students at this study stage to gain the most value from feedback on their work and the more general discussions of doctoral programs and scholarly careers. See the detailed announcement for complete information on the colloquium and how to apply. The material provided in applications to the doctoral colloquium will not be published in the proceedings. However, we encourage students to submit finished research to one of the paper tracks or as a poster or demo. Doctoral colloquium applications are limited to approximately ten pages, not including references, tables, and figures.
