The International Journal of Public Administration in the Digital Age (IJPADA) seeks to examine both the impact of information technology (IT) on public and nonprofit organizations, and the implementation of information technology for improving urban or regional governance. The research, provided by a growing list of more than 500+ contributors from countries in six continents, also studies the impact of IT on reforming and changing public and nonprofit organizations both internally (transparency, efficiency, etc.) and externally (outcomes and impact on society). This journal, prominently featured in prestigious indices including Web of Science® Emerging Sources Citation Index®, Scopus®, and INPEC®, also compares the adoption of IT in public and nonprofit organizations in different institutional and organizational environments, such as the implementation of IT in developed versus developing countries, or the adoption of IT in private versus public sector organizations. IJPADA will examine emerging and innovative technologies and their adoption in public and nonprofit organizations with an international scope. Additionally, all articles within this journal undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process ensuring that all material is of the utmost quality.
