Duart and Rosalind James Co-Editors, RUSC Universities and Knowledge Society Journal We are pleased to present the new issue of RUSC. Universities and Knowledge Society Journal. One part of this issue was published, in press, in November 2014, thus making it available to the scientific community two months in advance of the actual publication date of the ordinary issue. This is something that the digital format of the journal enables us to do. Moreover, the fact that we publish two sections in each issue a miscellaneous research articles section and a special section that comprises articles focusing on a specific topic following a call for papers has been decisive in this respect. An explanation of the rationale behind this new form of publishing is given below, as is a presentation of the articles that have been available for the past two months. In press research articles The aim of publishing the miscellaneous research articles section of the ordinary issues in advance is none other than to facilitate the dissemination of and access to the articles that have passed the peer-review process and been accepted for publication. By doing so, RUSC Universities and Knowledge Society Journal's readers can access the articles in advance of the usual publication dates of the journal's ordinary issues (January and July), and authors do not have to wait so long to see their manuscripts published. From now on, the in press publication of the miscellaneous research articles in each ordinary issue will be the norm. This means that we will actually have four launches per year, the usual January and July ones, which will respectively close one issue and open the next with the in press publication of the aforementioned articles in May and November. In addition, we will publish a special issue in April each year, based on manuscripts received following a call for papers. We will therefore publish articles five times a year: January, April, May, July and November. In parallel, we will graduallytryto increase the number of articles published each year. We are making these changes and improvements to continue to respond to the trust that researchers in the fields of e-learning, network society and universities place in RUSC Universities and KnowledgeSociety Journal, since we are receiving ever-larger numbers of submissions from more and more countries. Hallmarks and future challenges RUSC. Universities and Knowledge Society Journal is a research journal focusing on university e-learning within the context of the knowledge society or network society. We believe that it is important to carefully delimit the thematic scope of the journal in order to give our readers, subscribers and authors better service and support. While the thematic focus of the journal defines us and situates us within a specific knowledge area, there are other RUSC Vol. 12 No. 1 Universitat Oberta de Catalunya and University of New England I Barcelona, January 2015 OJosep M Duart, Rosalind James 0 by FUOC, 2015 ditor a 1
