Systematic Review of Graduate Theses on E-Government.

In this research, the aim was to systematically review the postgraduate theses completed in the last five years on e-government. For this purpose, the theses made between 2014-2019 were scanned with the keywords egovernment, e-government and e-government in the Higher Education Council (YÖK) Thesis Centre and 155 theses were found. As a result of the permission/unauthorized status of these theses, the ones that could not be reached directly were tried to be reached through the author or his/her advisor, and 94 of them were included in the scope of the research by evaluating their suitability for the research purpose. Thesis publication year, publication type, publication language, university, institute, and branch of science, keywords, target audience that will benefit or be affected by the research result, sample demographics, expression of research objectives, research method, number of samples and sampling method, data collection and analysis method, data collection tools, researched variables, limitations, future research proposals, recommendations for policymakers and those in the field of application, theoretical ties and findings related to e-government were evaluated. It is seen that many of the studies on e-Government are master's theses, published in Turkish as the language of publication, published in 2014 as the year, completed in Gazi University from the point of view of the university, and carried out in the Institute of Social Sciences and the Department of Business Administration. In the examined theses, it is seen that there are theses that do not specify keywords, and when examined in terms of the number of keywords, at least 2 and at most 10 keywords are specified. Examining the studies on e-Government in terms of identified research problems, it is important in terms of contributing to the literature, stating the similarities and differences in previous studies, and guiding future research.
