[Air-l] JITP Accepting Manuscripts via Online Submission System

[Stuart Shulman]

The Journal of Information Technology & Politics (JITP) seeks high-quality
manuscripts on the challenges and opportunities presented by information
technology in politics and government.  The primary objectives of the
journal are to promote a better understanding of how evolving information
technologies interact with political and governmental processes and outcomes
at many levels, to encourage the development of governmental and political
processes that employ IT in novel and interesting ways, and to foster the
development of new information technology tools and theories that can
capture, analyze, and report on these developments.

Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts should have significant theoretical and empirical roots,
preferably in both political science and IT, but should at least contain
significant content in both areas.  We are particularly interested in
manuscripts in three areas: how information technology (IT) influences
politics and government; how politics and government influence the
development and use of IT; and how IT can be, or is being, used to advance
research and teaching about politics and government, particularly in
political science.

JITP welcomes and strongly encourages submissions based on interdisciplinary
approaches including (but not limited to) information and computer sciences,
law, geography, communications, economics, and sociology. We anticipate
publishing articles on e-government, as well as applications of information
technology in campaigns, elections, and public sector management. Other
articles will examine the political economy of IT and governance of the
Internet. We also anticipate publishing articles on forms of citizen
interaction with government, from web logs ("blogs") at the "net-roots" to
hyperlinked transnational social movements.  Finally, we are interested how
technology developments are advancing political science research and
instruction.
