We are delighted to take this opportunity to wish our readership, members of the Editorial Board, our International Advisory Board, authors and all our reviewers a Very Happy New Year.

Reflecting on the past year, we are pleased to report that the Impact Factor for BJET rose substantially in the past year and currently stands at 2.41. The journal was ranked 22 out of 235 in ISI Journal Citation Reports Ranking in 2016 in the area of Education and Educational Research. A big thank you is due to the authors and expert reviewers who continue to push up the standards of articles, to our Editorial Board and International Advisory Board for their guidance and input, to the Critical Friends who willingly support early career researchers and other authors who need support to bring their manuscripts up to standard, to all our readers who appreciate and cite the journal’s content, and to our publisher Wiley for their efficient article processing and invaluable support to our team. The figures show that BJET is certainly a leading journal in the field of educational technology research and is going from strength to strength!
