The Journal of Information Technology & Politics or JITP, formerly the Journal of E-Government, published its inaugural issue in the fall of 2007. In 2005, the original publisher, The Haworth Press, formed an affiliation with the organized section on Information Technology & Politics (ITP) of the American Political Science Association (APSA). At the September 2006 ITP business meeting, the section voted to adopt JITP on a trial basis starting with the first issue. In 2007, The Haworth Press was acquired by Taylor & Francis and JITP became a Routledge journal. At the 2008 ITP business meeting, the section voted unanimously to adopt JITP as the Official Journal of the ITP section.[1]
