These impacts have also reached public administration, including its governance. Digital technologies\u2019 rise has paved the way for the surfacing of a new public governance model called the Digital Era Governance (DEG) model (often referred to as e-government, digital government, e-governance, or digital governance) in which digital technologies play a central role. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth examination of DEG research over the past two decades. Bibliometric analysis is based on the Scopus database that contains 9175 documents published between 2001 and 2020. In this context, several established and innovative bibliometric approaches are applied. The results reveal the growth of DEG research over the last two decades, especially in recent years, as accelerated by several of the most relevant documents published in reputable journals such as Government Information Quarterly. Most DEG research has been conducted in Anglo-Saxon countries, as confirmed while examining the most relevant authors\u2019 affiliations and collaborations. The results also indicate that DEG has advanced from conventional public services to citizen-oriented e-services by including citizens\u2019 participation and, most recently, even to smart services by facilitating emerging and disruptive technologies. The findings add to the stock of scientific knowledge and support the evidence-based policymaking needed to successfully pursue a sustainable future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi14050126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,22]],"date-time":"2022-04-22T05:07:22Z","timestamp":1650604042000},"page":"126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["A Review of Digital Era Governance Research in the First Two Decades: A Bibliometric Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0426-820X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dejan","family":"Rav\u0161elj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Administration, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2730-2597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lan","family":"Umek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Administration, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0037-9260","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ljup\u010do","family":"Todorovski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1345-9649","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksander","family":"Aristovnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Public Administration, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.1093\/jopart\/mui057","article-title":"New public management is dead\u2014Long live digital-era governance","volume":"16","author":"Dunleavy","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
