Incomplete Picture

Creativity, innovation, openness and involving citizens in decision making belong to a set of efforts undertaken by the government. This is possible thanks to crowdsourcing that is a tool to communicate with citizens and that is a source of knowledge and that provides new, creative ideas. However, despite the research intensity in the area of crowdsourcing creativity in government, the research results obtained to date are still ambiguous and fragmentary. Research on crowdsourcing government is often limited to interpretive traditions. This gives an incomplete picture of government crowdsourcing since three additional research paradigms are omitted: interpretative, post-modern, and critical. Our ambition is to raise awareness about the presence of many paradigms in crowdsourcing government research. The aim of this article is to present crowdsourcing government from the perspective of four paradigms by Gibson Burrell and Gareth Morgan. We are trying to achieve this by presenting a review of research on crowdsourcing government taking into consideration four paradigms: positivist, interpretative, critical, and postmodern. We suggest that a single paradigm is not able to provide a complete picture of crowdsourcing government, and thus we seek interactions between the paradigms and postulate multi-paradigmatic research that may lead to further development of knowledge.

The Sengwa Research Area in north-west Rhodesia consists of 145 square miles of uninhabited woodland and flood-plain, virtually undisturbed by man and now set aside solely for wildlife research. The author describes the government Research Station and the work going on there, particularly on warthogs, in which he took part in 1972–73.

The object of this paper is, first, to describe a galvanometer in which a principle which is, we believe, novel in its application to this particular purpose, has been employed to give an instrument of very great sensibility; and, second, to describe some forms of astatic galvanometers which are, we think, improvements on astatic combinations as ordinarily made and arranged for use. Fig. 1 shows in elevation and horizontal section the coils and arrangement of needles adopted in an instrument of very great sensibility which we designed in the summer of 1882, and which with assistance from the Government Research Fund, we have had,constructed for use in our experiments on the Electric Resistance of Glass and Allied Substances. It consists of two pairs of. coils, c c c c , with hollow cores, arranged so that the axes of each pair are parallel and in a vertical plane. Each pair is carried by a vertical brass plate, and the two plates are inclined to one another at an angle of about 106°; and thus the vertical planes containing the axes of the coils are inclined to one another at an angle of about 74°. Two horseshoe magnets, m, m , made of steel wire of about 1 millim. in diameter, are connected together by a very light frame of aluminium, and are at such a distance apart as to hang, when the needle system is in equilibrium, with no current in the coils, freely within and nearly along the axes of the cores of the coils. The horseshoes are not plane, but are bent round so that they form approximately portions of one vertical cylinder of which the suspension-thread is the axis, and to which the axes of the coils form horizontal tangents near their middle points at the approximate positions of the poles of the needles.

This investigation was begun under the instructions of Lord Kelvin about a year ago, and has been continued since the beginning of last year in conjunction with another on thermal conductivity, for which a grant of £ 50 was made from the Government Research Fund. The chief object of the investigation was to obtain quantitative results of the variations of specific resistances of metals due to stretching, twisting, drawing through holes in a steel plate, hammering, heating, and combinations of these, while in some of these cases the alteration of density was also measured.

Journal Papers

A comprehensive analysis of 110 peer-reviewed journal papers published from 1998 to 2003 suggests that the conceptual domains and application areas covered by e-government research focus predominately on capabilities and interactions, whereas value distributions and policy orientations are largely ignored. Onwards, e-government research is more concerned with conceptualizing government and e-services than in exploring the governmental role in technology diffusion and the role IT plays in democracy and participation. This orientation of the current research body is an indicator that the legacy of IS research themes dominates the e-government research body and that interdisciplinary research involving core public administration research along with IS research is yet to emerge. It is proposed that the field could be more unified if it considered both the e and the government of e-government.

The Village

Belandingan is the village of Bali Aga mountain type  located in Kintamani District, Bangli Regency, Bali. The location of Belandingan Village itself is quite secluded compared to other villages around Batur. Mount Batur was named the world geopark by UNESCO on 22 September 2013. Belandingan Village is included in 15 Batur Geopark Supporting villages. Although it has become a Supporting Village of Batur Geopark, there is not tourism planning done by the government. Research on the Village of Blandingan itself is difficult to find. The distinctive cultural richness of the Bali Aga  Village has the potential for the development of a heritage Tourism Village. The character of Belandingan Village community that is friendly and open to outsiders is also a potential in promoting the tourism of the village. Existing traditions are still in verbal version. The community has not been moved to document their culture. The people themselves when invited to discuss are less aware of the cultural uniqueness they have. For this reason, assistance was provided to the community in this case the religious leaders in the village of Belandingan  and Sekaa Teruna Teruni Mandala Cipta Belandingan Village to identify village heritage. It is hoped that the results of this identification will become written data and become material in promoting the field of tourism as a Bali Aga tourist village.

An increasing number of initiatives have emerged around the world to help facilitate data sharing and collaborations to leverage different sources of data to address societal problems. They are called “data collaboratives”. Data collaboratives are seen as a novel way to match real life problems with relevant expertise and data from across the sectors. Despite its significance and growing experimentation by practitioners, there has been limited research in this field. In this article, the authors report on the outcomes of a panel discussing critical issues facing data collaboratives and develop a research and development agenda. The panel included participants from the government, academics, and practitioners and was held in June 2017 during the 18th International Conference on Digital Government Research at City University of New York (Staten Island, New York, USA). The article begins by discussing the concept of data collaboratives. Then the authors formulate research questions and topics for the research roadmap based on the panel discussions. The research roadmap poses questions across nine different topics: conceptualizing data collaboratives, value of data, matching data to problems, impact analysis, incentives, capabilities, governance, data management, and interoperability. Finally, the authors discuss how digital government research can contribute to answering some of the identified research questions.
