Call for Papers

During the past twenty-three years, the dg.o conferences have been at the forefront of digital
governance transformations. In its 24th anniversary, the dg.o 2023 conference will build in past themes
to advance our knowledge about the creation of public values via digital innovations with particular
focus on cross-border digital public services. Next to the track pioneered at dgo 2022, other established
tracks featured at past dg.o conferences, such as:
* Public value creation and innovation
* Social media and government
* Organizational factors, technology adoption, and digital government impacts
* Opening government: from open data infrastructures to collaboration
* Engagement in government
* Smart cities: models and platforms
* Cybersecurity and governance
* Beyond bureaucracy, co-producing governance & new models of governance
* Open government data policies & politics
* Blockchain and transformational government

Overview

This ranking presents a comprehensive evaluation of scientific conferences in the field of Business and Management. Developed by Research.com, a leading platform recognized for its credible and extensive data on scientific research and achievements across major academic fields since 2014, the ranking aims to provide reliable guidance based on robust analytical practices.

The position of each conference within the ranking is determined by a unique bibliometric score that is meticulously calculated by Research.com. This score integrates the estimated h-index of the conferences along with the number of distinguished scientists who have actively contributed to or participated in the event during the preceding three years. By taking into account both the academic impact and the involvement of top-tier researchers, this methodology ensures an accurate reflection of each conference's influence in Business and Management research.

The current ranking includes Impact Score values collected as of 2024-11-27. The process of compiling this list was highly selective and analytical, involving the examination of over 216 conferences. These conferences were chosen after an in-depth review and rigorous assessment of more than 727 scientific documents published over the past three years by 2,177 esteemed experts and leading figures in the field.

For readers seeking a deeper understanding of the methodology behind the calculation of the bibliometric scores and selection criteria, comprehensive details are available on our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at Digital Government Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Teresa M. Harrison (5 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition, 3 more than at the previous edition,
  • Soon Ae Chun (3 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Marijn Janssen (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Rodrigo Sandoval-Almazan (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • J. Ramon Gil-Garcia (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Digital Government Research (based on the number of publications) are:

  • University at Albany, SUNY (7 papers) published 6 papers at the last edition, 5 more than at the previous edition,
  • Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (4 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (4 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • City University of New York (3 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition,
  • Delft University of Technology (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2014 edition, 10.53% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 50.98% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 21.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 27.45% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
