Duart and Rosalind James * Correspondence: jduart@uoc.edu Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, 12 Springer We are pleased to announce the start of a new era for this journal, which was founded in 2004 by the Open University of Catalonia (UOC). It will provide researchers working in the field of educational technology (e-learning) in higher education with a publication to disseminate the results of their studies. The first issue of this open-access online journal was published under the name of Revista de Universidad y Sociedad del Conocimiento, the abbreviated form of which - RUSC - has been used to refer to the journal for 10 years. The first volumes were published in Spanish but, from 2010 onwards, all articles were published in both Spanish and English. Also in 2010, we decided to change the name of the journal to RUSC. Universities and Knowledge Society Journal. It was an important year because the journal was incorporated into renowned citation databases like Scopus. Then, in 2013, a co-edition agreement between UOC and the University of New England (UNE) was signed in order to drive the journal's internationalisation strategy forward. Since its launch, the number of articles published, downloaded and cited has increased year on year, and particularly so since the 2013 agreement with UNE. We are now indexed in Scopus, Web of Science (ESCI), Google Scholar, Educational Research Premier' (EBSCO), Fuente Academical (EBSCO), Educational Research Abstracts (ERA), ACER (Australian Council for Educational Research), IRESIE, ISOC (CSIC/CINDOC), Dialnet, DOAJ, Dulcinea, OAISTER, Scientific Commons, Redalyc, e-Revistas, and SHERPA/RoMEO. Twelve years and more than 250 published articles later, we are presenting the start of a new and promising chapter for the journal, which will now be known as the International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education (ETHE). The new name is the result of some considerable thought given to how best to summarise the journal's thematic scope-that of studying and analysing the use of technology in teaching and learning processes in higher education. The change of name has come about as a result of a new publication agreement; from 2016, the journal will be published by Springer on the SpringerOpen platform. © 2016 Duart and James.
