e-Government and Education: Review of Current Research and Trends

Abstract

In the digital era, governments are using ICT to improve policy efficiency and public services. Digital governance has significant effects on society, as e-government initiatives increase access to government information and citizen engagement. Furthermore, they have the potential to enhance government accountability, transparency, and trustworthiness. The intersection of e-government and education creates a convergence that can enhance governance in education systems globally. Up until now, no bibliometric study has been conducted on the subjects of e-government and education. To fill this research gap, we undertook a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to assess the impact of published studies within the scientific community. For our analysis, we examined 215 articles related to e-government and educational research fields that were indexed in Scopus and authored by 527 researchers between 2001 and 2022. To carry out this analysis, we employed the R data analysis package, bibliometrix. Our study yielded valuable findings, including identifying the most influential authors and journals and uncovering prominent themes and current research trends. Moreover, we identify potential directions for future research.
