JITP2010: The Politics of Open Source
Formerly the Journal of E-Government, the Journal of Information Technology & Politics (JITP) published its inaugural issue in the fall of 2007. JITP is the official journal of the Information Technology and Politics section of the American Political Science Association. It seeks to:
- promote a better understanding of how evolving information technologies interact with political and governmental processes and outcomes at many levels
- encourage the development of governmental and political processes that employ IT in novel and interesting ways, and
- foster the development of new information technology tools and theories that can capture, analyze, and report on these developments.
