The journal was the idea of Professor Derek Peters, Dr Gyozo Molnar and Professor Ken Hardman at the University of Worcester.

They will act as the editorial board for the resource.

It will be an expert-reviewed journal with submissions only eligible if the first named author is (or has recently been) a student.

The first issue will be published in Autumn.
