Focus and Scope

The International Journal of Public Information Systems aims at publishing studies of public information systems. The journal acknowledges the interdisciplinary nature of such studies. Topics include, but are not restricted to:

  • User-centred design, usability, usefulness, citizens perspectives
  • Customer relations, different forms of interactions
  • Quality and security
  • Governance and democracy, political prerequisites
  • Decision support systems, risk and decision analysis
  • Integration and segregation, cooperation between public administrations/government agencies
  • Digital archives
  • Multimedia communications
Public information systems may be defined as information systems that
  • Provide services to the public (people and companies/organisations)
  • Empower citizens and organisations to exercise democratic influence
  • Support governments on all levels to perform their tasks in an efficient and reliable way
  • Capture, preserve, and make available useful data for analysis, planning, and research

The International Journal of Public Information Systems wants to link researchers and other professionals who share an interest in the process, nature, significance and implications of public information systems design. The journal is a forum for analytical and comparative articles, essays, case-studies, and book reviews on such topics as innovation and research, intellectual property, entrepreneurship, and products. The journal publishes insightful pieces intended for general readers as well as specialists. To illuminate important debates and draw attention to specific topics, the journal occasionally publishes thematic issues.
