- E-Government and government transformation: technical interactivity, political influence and citizen returnPublication . Montargil, FilipeE-Government services have been the subject of theoretical elaboration and regular evaluation surveys since around 2000. It is argued in this chapter that the theoretical paradigms used for methodology design in these surveys (and, therefore, their main results too) tend to neglect political influence as an analytic dimension and consider citizen return as resulting from technical interactivity. A critique is carried out of the assumptions underlying this paradigm and a complementary criterion is offered for the analysis of E-Government services. Available results from existing surveys are re-examined in light of this reflection. Findings reveal an indisputable growth in coverage (i.e. a larger percentage of services are available online) and in technical interactivity of government services online. However, a more careful look at the same surveys also supports the hypothesis that their results should not be taken as automatically meaning an increase in citizen engagement or that services are being developed from a starting point of the user's needs and expectations. On the contrary, data suggests that sophistication is increasing faster in the technical interactivity dimension than in citizen participation features. Simultaneously, services more closely related with the extractive activity of the state (e.g. that imply revenue or income generation) are placed online sooner and with more technical sophistication than services in other areas. Some data also suggests that these trends are not imperceptible to citizens. According to one survey, citizens expect from E-Government more consequences in state efficiency and cost reduction than in government transparency or accountability.
- Novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação política: alguns eixos problemáticosPublication . Montargil, FilipeO desenvolvimento de Novas Tecnologias de Informação (NTI) tem vindo a ser crescentemente utilizado, na última década, como pano de fundo para repensar as formas de organização da comunicação política. A internet ocupa, neste contexto, um papel preponderante, sobretudo devido ao crescimento vertiginoso do número de utilizadores. As NTI parecem impor alterações na organização do fluxo de informação política com base num conjunto claramente determinado de características. De entre estas, a bidireccionalidade, a capacidade de veicular mais informação (e de forma mais rápida), e a flexibilidade, possibilitando a rápida reconfiguração do sistema, têm adquirido alguma relevância, surgindo como base para análises profundamente optimistas da evolução dos sistemas democráticos. As NTI são encaradas, segundo esta perspectiva, como uma possível solução técnica para a crise de mobilização e legitimidade que sentimos, nos sistemas democráticos contemporâneos. É proposta, na presente comunicação, a abordagem de alguns eixos problemáticos na aplicação de NTI à comunicação política. Pretende-se, a partir da análise da influência das NTI nos fluxos de informação política, reflectir sobre o carácter instrumental que podem desempenhar, face a concepções diversificadas do exercício do poder.

- Building a web tracking browser information system: the online panel as a research method in internet studiesPublication . Montargil, Filipe; Di Fátima, Branco; Ruiz, CristianInternet research requires internet-based research methods and tools. Since the commercial adoption and the rapid expansion of internet use in civil society, social scientists have tried to understand the impact and contribution of this technology in the shaping of contemporary human existence. However, academic research has been based mainly in mature and traditional data collection and analysis methods, previously established, like survey research or social network analysis. Some authors suggest that this trend represents a challenge for the social sciences’ ability to champion innovative methodological resources, underlining the need to create also native digital methods. The authors developed, considering this challenge, an online panel of internet users – a method already used in the market research industry to monitor and characterize audiences and consumer behaviour, but not usually explored in social science academic research. Following a case study approach, the current paper presents the information system and technological infrastructure developed to support this online panel.
- Communication with citizens in the first EU citizen observatories experiencesPublication . Montargil, Filipe; Santos, VitorThis paper presents the emerging concept and reality of Citizen Observatories (COs). We offer a brief overview of its opportunities and its areas of application and discuss some central elements of the first generation of Citizen Observatories pilot projects’ funded by the European Union, between 2012 and 2016, in what regards communication with citizens. The concept of CO implies, according to the existing definitions, an open and shared information system dedicated to the collection of data on the environment and natural resources, using ICT, and the volunteer participation of individuals in data collection. The EU has adopted a more specific concept of CO in the projects funded, so that the resulting information complements existing earth observation systems (including the European Copernicus satellite program). In the 2012 In the 2012—2016 period five CO projects have been funded by the EU, covering different areas: natural waters monitoring, odour monitoring, air quality monitoring, flood risk management and a platform for citizen science surveys. These COs allowed to develop and test the concept’s implementation. According to our analysis, we can identify different communication strategies with citizens, in these projects, ranging from all-inclusive strategies (using websites, Android and IOS apps, both to collect and disseminate information) to more focused communication strategies. Besides this, awareness is also a critical issue for COs, since they need to attract a relevant number of citizens in order to justify their existence and to thrive. Most projects make extensive use of social networking sites (SNS), including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+ and Slideshare. Despite this use, however, it cannot yet be considered that COs reach a vast number of citizens. Rather, the number of citizens involved was very limited, in the first generation of pilot projects. But societal challenges may assume a more relevant role in the following stages, with the projects that will be developed between 2016 and 2020.
