[open-government] Open Data/Government Academic Journals

[McGibbney, Lewis John]

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I've been monitoring this list for a number of months, have been cherry picking the numerous resources that have appeared over time and now wish to post a specific call for discussion, regarding emerging and already established academic journals focusing on the area of open government data.
As we are all aware, the domain has witnessed a surge of interest over recent years, driven overwhelming by various hot topics within IT (amongst others).

I'm intentionally leaving this thread open ended, you will notice that I haven't yet provided any of my own suggestions, simply because I am coming from a construction orientated angle (of which there is very very little regarding open government data and initiatives currently published) so a rounded opinion from the community would be really great.

Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions and conversation go'ers.

Kind Regards

Lewis
