The purpose of this paper is to analyse the first two years of e‐Government research published in the Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy (TGPPP) from 2007 to 2008.
Employing a profiling approach the analysis of the 41 e‐Government publications includes examining variables such as most productive authors, universities associated with the most publications, geographic diversity, authors' backgrounds, co‐author analysis, and research methods.
The analytical, descriptive, theoretical and conceptual methods were the most dominant research approaches utilized by TGPPP authors within the last two years. Another fact that emerged is that the largest number of contributions comes from those with an information systems background, followed by business and computer science and IT.
The primary value of this paper lies in extending the understanding of evolution and patterns of e‐Government research. This has been achieved by analyzing and synthesising existing TGPPP publications.
