Journal Guide

Governance provides a forum for the theoretical and practical discussion of executive politics, public policy, administration, and the organization of the state. Published in association with International Political Science Association's Research Committee on the Structure & Organization of Government (SOG), it emphasizes peer-reviewed articles that take an international or comparative approach to public policy and administration. All papers, regardless of empirical focus, should have wider theoretical, comparative, or practical significance.

Government Information Quarterly is an international journal that examines the intersection of policy, information technology, government, and the public. In particular, GIQ focuses on how policies affect government information flows and the availability of government information; the use of technology to create and provide innovative government services; the impact of information technology on the relationship between the governed and those governing; and the increasing significance of information policies and information technology in relation to democratic practices.As the leading journal in the field, Government Information Quarterly seeks to publish high quality scholarly research, reviews, review essays and editorials that inform both researchers and practitioners regarding the relationship between policy, information technology, government, and the public. The journal seeks submissions drawn from a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to information science, public policy, public administration, political science, business, law, geography, information systems, communications, economics, sociology, computer science, and public health.Government Information Quarterly encourages submissions that focus on:• Information policies and their impact on government information flows, availability, and access.• The impact of information technology on government innovation, transformation, and practice.• An open, transparent, and accountable government.• Data privacy, protection and security.• Participatory decision-making and civic engagement and the role of information technology in promoting and/or limiting civil discourse, participation, and practice. • Information flows in public spheres.• Co-participation and co-production between the governed and the governing and the influence of technology and policy on the relationship between the public and government.• The citizen, the state, information policy, and information technology. • The development, implementation, and use of information systems and emerging technologies as platforms and delivery tools for government services and resources, as well as tools for decision and policy making.Within this scope, Government Information Quarterly encourages submissions that include original research papers that are theory-driven research; papers that combine theory & practice; reviews & review essays, editorials; teaching cases and case studies.

Grana, originally published as Grana Palynologica, was founded in 1954 by Professor Gunnar Erdtman. It is published under the auspices of the Scandinavian Palynological Collegium (CPS) in affiliation with the International Association for Aerobiology (IAA).Grana publishes original papers, mainly on ontogony (morphology, and ultrastructure of pollen grains and spores of Eucaryota and their importance for plant taxonomy, ecology, phytogeography, paleobotany, etc.) and aerobiology. Aerobiology involves studies of airborne biological particles, such as pollen, spores, etc., and their launching, dispersal and final deposition. The significance of these particles in medicine (allergology) and plant pathology is of particular interest.
