Academic databases

The following databases will be used to search for literature:

• Web of Science Core Collection
• Scopus
• ProQuest (Social Science, Political Science, Aerospace Technology & Advanced Technologies, Computer Science)
• Policy Commons: Global Think Tanks

Web of Science and Scopus are core multidisciplinary resources which are appropriate for the socio-technological nature of the research questions.

ProQuest databases (Social Science, Political Science, Aerospace Technology & Advanced Technologies, Computer Science) provide a focus on social sciences and advanced technology, which are suitable for targeting the three research themes: technology and infrastructure, legal and administrative processes, and implementation and adoption.

Policy Commons has been included to capture research into the real-world policy-implications of digital sovereignty and digital ID systems.
