Guest Editor in Real Life

Clearing ones desk before the summer Holidays can be a rewarding experience. I just found my physical copy of the special issue on E-government Process Integration and Enterprise Architecture that I guest edited in the International Journal of Cases on Electronic Commerce with Vishanth Weerakkody and Marijn Janssen. Now I can show my wife that all the late hours that I spend editing the issue also materialized in something tangible.
In an entry last year I announced the call for papers and we received a bunch of quality papers – all good candidates for publications. However, in the end we decided to publish the following five papers:
- A Comparative Account of Joined-Up Government Initiatives in Dutch and Belgian Social Security
By Homburg, V. M. F.
- Integration and Enterprise Architecture Challenges in E-Government: A European Perspective
By Weerakkody, V.; Janssen, M.; Hjort-Madsen, K.
- Managing E-Government Application Evolution: A State Government Case
By Kung, H. J.; Tung, H. L.; Case, T.
- E-Mexico: Collaborative Structures in Mexican Public Administration
By Luna-Reyes, L. F.; Gil-Garcia, J. R.; Cruz, C. B.
- The E-Government Development, IT Strategies, and Portals of the Hong Kong SAR Government
By HO, K. K. W.
You can find all the papers here.
It was fun to work with Vishanth and Marijn and a great learning experience for me to edit a special issue in a journal. Hopefully, it will not be the last time I do that.
