The European Journal of ePractice, a new online publication on eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion has been launched as an initiative of the European Commission's ePractice.eu portal. The aim of European Journal of ePractice (EJeP) is to reinforce the visibility of articles as well as that of professionals in eTransformation, building an author's community which will strengthen the overall ePractice.eu activity. The publication promotes the diffusion and exchange of good practice in eGovernment, eHealth and eInclusion.
The EJeP's Editor-in-Chief, Trond Arne Undheim, points out: "Reflecting on good practice is essential if you want to replicate your success. Likewise, it provides a backdrop to think about the challenges you encountered." He also resumes EJePs objective: "...[EJeP] shall provide analysis and reflection, as well as increase awareness of the importance of sharing solutions, lessons, technology and experience with others."
The ePractice.eu community includes currently over 11,000 members and EJeP is targeted to these professionals, and by extension to all eGovernment practitioners in Europe and beyond.
In the first issue of the online publication, entitled "The socio-technical nature of good practice exchange", the following articles provided by various experts on eGovernment are included:
- Good practice exchange from a Web 2.0 point of view by Ramon Sangüesa and Roc Fages
- Knowledge sharing in a distributed community of practice: a case study of ePractice.eu by Juliane Jarke
- Training eGovernment actors: Experience and future needs by Frank Wilson | Van Engers Tom and Rob Peters
