Introduction to the 2013 Electronic Government Track

For HICSS-46 the volume of submissions to the e-Gov track represented 10 percent of all submissions to the conference making this track the fifth-largest track. For the second year e-Gov paper sessions need to go parallel for a full day. So, the e-Gov track at HICSS maintains its strong position among the other conference tracks as well as the leading research conference in electronic government research. Overall, in 2012 the volume of peer-reviewed publications has risen again in double digit percentage numbers (see EGRL, the E-Government Reference Library, at http://tinyurl.com/p5w8vv) So, I repeat the statement of the last two years: E-Government research is thriving.
