Towards a New Journal

The Civic Technology Community Group is developing a Task Force to create a new academic journal with the purpose of serving the field’s broad ecosystem by providing it with an urgently needed forum for innovative ideas, discoveries, data, and scholarly communication about civic technology.

While other journals exist today with respect to democracy and community informatics, we still do not have a journal with a primary focus on forefront civic technology and its advancement. A new journal will add value as a forum for articles on these topics.

Further specifics, this journal’s title, summary, aims, scope, and more, are to be determined by the Task Force.

There are and will be opportunities for contribution to this project before, during, and after the creation of this new journal.

If you would like to participate in this Task Force, please message the Group in our mailing list. Thank you!
