However, scientific knowledge about how social media can leverage open government is limited. Therefore, this study applies a mixed-methods research proceeding to develop a conceptual framework for the strategic use of social media concerning open government initiatives. The study concludes that social media applications can be strategically applied to foster open government and to improve citizen�government interaction. From the findings, strategic recommendations for open government-related social media adoption are developed and practical advice for responsible public managers is given. - Reproduced.  aPublic administration  aPublic management  aSocial media  aDaiser, Peter and Mermann, Marina  aInternational Journal of Public Administration
