It has been questioned whether or not Electronic Government Research (EGR) qualifies as a legitimate discipline. This paper proposes that EGR might even want to avoid developing into a traditional discipline and restricting itself to a narrow set of accepted procedures. Rather EGR might best be served by drawing upon multiple disciplines spanning the whole spectrum of hard-pure, hard-applied, soft-pure, and soft-applied sciences. In so doing, EGR might best thrive as a multi-, inter-, or even as a transdiscipline.
