Dear Readers,

We are delighted to feature eight articles and a book review in this, the newest issue of Brock Education: A Journal of Educational Research and Practice. Over the past year Brock Education Journal has gained further recognition by being newly listed in Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) within the Web of Science. ESCI is linked to a wider circulation of international readers. Hence, authors of BEJ gain greater visibility. We are also pleased that BEJ has been relisted with the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The two listings signal that BEJ produces quality, peer reviewed open access material and is committed to contributing positively to the scholarly open access community.

Thank you to BEJ anonymous peer-reviewers for their continued support. Their expertise ensures that our journal maintains the level of rigor and engagement that is required of journals by scholarly community-curated open access journal international indexing Advisory Boards such as ERIC, DOAJ and ESCI. Brock Education is published and sponsored by the Faculty of Education.

Tim Ribaric, Digital Services Librarian and Brock’s Designated Site Coordinator has supported BEJ through the DOAJ application, ISSN and DOI.
