Special issue on evidence-based government: Secure, transparent and responsible digital governance

Abstract

We hope that this collection of articles will provide digital government researchers, students and government practitioners with an opportunity to reflect on the ways in which evidence-based government depends on data generated and consumed through the data-driven transformation value chain. The data and data products have the power to accomplish transformations in all the products of the data-driven value creation and transformation chain, including services, behaviors, actions, policies, expectations, norms, and governance standards. The articles presented here provide the reader with an in-depth treatment of topics related to evidence-based government, with an ambition of contributing to a more secure, transparent and responsible digital governance future.
