The Universities and Knowledge Society Journal (RUSC) is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It therefore
gives me great pleasure to present this issue, the first number of Volume 10. When we first began
publishing this scientific journal 10 years ago, we had three clear ideas or objectives in mind. First, to
promote, compile and disseminate the scientific output being generated on the relationship between
education and the Internet, or e-learning as it is known today. Second, to provide a platform for the
presentation of studies that revealed and analysed the principal changes taking place in universities
in the information and knowledge society era. And third, to do all of this in a journal that would be
openly accessible to all researchers and, of course, distributed via the Internet. While these proposals
were very new 10 years ago, we are pleased to note that other publications on similar themes have
since emerged, and that more and more open-access scientific e-journals are now available. RUSC
was pioneering in the field of universities, e-learning and the network society. And, 10 years on, it has
every intention of remaining at the forefront of that field by providing the scientific community with
a quality space for networked collaboration and scientific visibility.
Today, RUSC is a consolidated journal that is listed in the most prestigious academic indices
and important scientific databases. We publish all articles in Spanish and English to facilitate the
dissemination of scientific works among scholars in these two extensive language communities.
Over this 10-year period, we have published 10 volumes of RUSC (18 numbers), which have included
a total of 200 articles. Of these, 114 have appeared in 18 monographic Dossiers on a variety of
current scientific themes connected with e-learning, universities and the network society. Many
research authors have chosen to have their works published in our journal, and renowned experts
have accepted the important task of coordinating the monographic Dossiers on each thematic area
covered. We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to all of them in this 10th anniversary
year.
Our Scientific Editorial Board currently has 46 members. Our commitment to expanding the
international scope and global presence of RUSC is reflected in the composition of the Editorial
Board: 13 members are from Spain, seven from Mexico, four from Chile, two from Colombia, two from
Argentina, one from Brazil, one from Peru, one from Uruguay, one from Puerto Rico, five from Canada,
four from the United States, one from the Netherlands, one from Belgium, one from Portugal and two
from Asia. We would like to thank all current and former members for their invaluable contributions,
which have undeniably helped the journal to grow and become what it is today.
