Why are government websites good for research?

The UK government makes money from advertising on its websites - which is bad for privacy, says Simon Davies.

Yet, many of these citizens cannot access this information without having to pay to obtain it. This system, often known as freemium, is deeply controversial, but, for now, it seems to work. But does it work? Let's ask experts.

Simon Davies, Lecturer in Computing Science, University of Manchester, UK, will be taking part in a panel discussion at the first International Conference on Electronic Government - London 2025 (EGOV 2012). How important are public websites for the administration of government? The UK is a member of the Open Data Charter, an initiative of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), which promotes transparency and free access to data. The UK government, therefore, should provide access to its data. However, it provides less than one third of what the charter calls for.

I know there are good reasons for not wanting to share the data online. It concerns sensitive areas such as data about people's health and children's data. The British government also has a reason for not opening up: it spends a lot of money on advertising on its websites.

So a web page that gives data to the people costs money and doesn't benefit the government financially? Yes, because a lot of it is being used to display advertising. It is very difficult to quantify exactly what proportion of the total cost of the sites is due to advertising. However, a substantial proportion is spent on advertising. In fact, the government spends more on advertising than it gets in public funding from grants and taxes.

How could the government make money from data that they provide? It could place adverts on the site, but that is a very difficult thing to do if they are subject to privacy rules. What the UK government does is put adverts on pages, but the pages are not completely anonymous to the reader. Rather than just saying this is something the government is doing it has a picture with a This is what the government is doing to help you. That sort of text is very difficult to interpret.

Is .gov a scholarly source?

For several years now, we at ResearchBuzz have maintained a list of government-run research resources.

The list currently has almost 1,100 entries and is the result of our collaboration with a number of scholars who have contributed, not only with identifying government sites, but also with their recommendations for sources and citations. With that said, here are the top 20 government-run sites and resources in the world of scholarly research and publications.

This resource has been on the ResearchBuzz list since 2025, and in its three years on the list, it has published over 60 papers, had 4.5 million downloads of data, and had a total of more than 80,000 visitors. In this regard, it is definitely a success!

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is one of the world's premier research facilities. It was founded in 1958, and has since then published over 40,000 articles in scientific journals and over 1,500 titles in books and reports. It also publishes over 100 working papers annually. This means that you can find over 500,000 papers on topics ranging from robotics to rocket science. Also, NASA makes their work available for free to researchers worldwide.

For more information on NASA, please visit the following link: US Office of Personnel Management. With a mission statement of to enhance public trust in government service through open, transparent, and ethical practices, it is safe to say that the OPM is an open source that researchers can access. The agency was founded in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter and continues to be actively managed by his successor.

For more information on the US Office of Personnel Management, please visit the following link: NOAA. The United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was established in 1970 to provide the public with a unified program for the prediction of weather and for the monitoring and forecasting of water, ice, and atmospheric phenomena. As such, NOAA provides information to the public and private sector on weather patterns, sea level trends, and much more.

How to find .gov sources?

I'm looking for a source for an interview with a .

Gov employee. The person I'd like to speak with is someone who has worked in multiple departments in a high-level management position at a large government agency. I'd like to talk with him about his experiences and challenges working in the private sector.

You can try this search engine: It works by searching government web sites. If you are looking for a particular employee, just type in his name. You're out of luck, unless you have some personal connection. They will only interview those who are already employed at the Department of the Interior or another one of their agencies.
