About the Journal
Aims and Scope
The POSTech Journal focuses how information technology (IT) impacts daily politics, public policy, and governance, how politics and government influence the development and use of information technology, and how information technology can be used to advance public policy making and good governance. The journal’s primary disciplinary is political science, but it regularly features contributions from scholars in related fields such as communication, sociology, economics, technology, and law.
Dedicated to the advancement of research on the role of information technology in politics, the POSTech Journal publishes articles examining the applications of IT in political campaigns, elections, public policy making and innovation, and good governance; the implications of IT use for individuals and their political behaviour; and the governance of the Internet.
The POSTech Journal 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
- reviews of major books on information technology and politics
Peer Review Policy: POSTech Journal manuscripts undergo a double anonymized review process by at least two independent referees.
