Grateful Recipient of the IFIP Fellowship Award (2022)

In recognition of my academic contributions and standing in the field of information processing the General Assembly of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) elevated me to the status of IFIP Fellow.

The Federation’s most prestigious award and distinction is the title of IFIP Fellow, which is conferred by the IFIP General Assembly on a current or past member of an IFIP body (e.g. WG, TC, GA, Domain Committee, IP3) in recognition of outstanding contributions in the field of information processing, in the role of a Technical Leader, Scientist, Engineer, or Educator.

Established in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, IFIP is the global organization for researchers and professionals working in the field of information and communication technologies. Recognized by the United Nations, IFIP links some 50 national and international societies and academies of science with a total membership of over half a million professionals.

In 2021, I was pleased by receiving the IFIP Service Award for my service to the field, in general, and inside IFIP working groups, in particular.

In 2020, the Digital Government Society had also recognized my academic impact on the field by making me an inaugural Fellow of this distinct professional society.

I am grateful for and humbled by these recognitions of my research impact and service contributions to the two domains of digital government and disaster information management.

DGRL v 18.5: Getting Close to the 18,000 References Mark

Version 18.5 of the Digital Government Reference Library (DGRL) has been published as of December 15, 2022. The library now contains 17,987 references of predominantly English-language, peer-reviewed work in the study domains of digital government, digital governance, and digital democracy.

This marks a 4.7% increase in references from version 18.0 (June of 2022) and a 8.8% increase from version 17.5 (December of 2021). This past publication period has yet been another good one for Digital Government-related publishing adding another 4-digit number (1,456) of new peer-reviewed academic references within the past 12 months.

The DGRL has become 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: 06/15/2023. Thank you for your interest and cooperation.
