Version 19.5 of the Digital Government Reference Library (DGRL) has been published as of December 15, 2023. The library now contains  19,390 references of predominantly English-language, peer-reviewed work in the study domains of digital government, digital governance, and digital democracy.

This marks a 3.9% increase in references from version 19.0 (June of 2023) and a 7.8% increase from version 18.5 (December of 2022). This past publication period has continued to be another good one for Digital Government-related publishing adding another 4-digit number (1,403) of new peer-reviewed academic references within the past 12 months.

The DGRL has been strengthening its role as an indispensable tool for Digital Government scholars. In particular, reviewers of paper submissions are reported to rely heavily on this reference library. Packaged in a zip file, bibTeX, RIS, and Endnote (package) versions are available. Mendeley or Zotero versions can easily be created by importing from RIS or bibTeX files. Please get back to us in case of any errors or omissions. Next scheduled update: 06/15/2024. Thank you for your interest and cooperation.
