About this journal

The Journal of Information Technology & Politics examines how information technology (IT) impacts politics and government, how politics and government influence the development and use of IT, and how IT can be used to advance research and education. The journal’s primary disciplinary home is political science, but regularly features contributions from scholars in related fields such as communication, sociology, economics, geography, and law.

Dedicated to the advancement of research on the role of information technology in politics, the Journal of Information Technology & Politics publishes articles examining the applications of IT in political campaigns, elections, and the broader public sphere; the implications of IT use for individuals and their political behavior; the political economy of IT; and the governance of the Internet.

The Journal of Information Technology & Politics includes:

• original theory-driven research papers and review essays that focus on information technology and political processes
• articles that combine theory and practice to feature a specific focus on policy issues at the local, state/provincial, national, and global levels, with analysis to benefit academics and practitioners
• articles that focus on pedagogical issues related to the use of information technology for teaching in political science and related disciplines
• "workbench notes" on tools for research and teaching related to information technology and politics
• "research notes" that present novel findings in a streamlined format
• reviews of major books on information technology and politics
