Springer will publish the Journal of Computing in Higher Education: Research and Integration of Instructional Technology starting April 2009. Founded in 1989 by the New England Regional Computing Program, the journal focuses on the established field of instructional technology in higher education.

The Journal of Computing in Higher Education publishes original research, literature reviews, implementation and adoption studies, and theoretical, conceptual, and policy papers. It provides a venue for exploring instructional technology in a rigorous and scholarly manner. The journal publishes research papers from a wide range of disciplines in higher education that reflect different research, theoretical, and application perspectives concerning computing and technology integration in higher education. Articles dealing with a broad spectrum of topics are considered.

Along with a new publisher, the JCHE welcomes Gary R. Morrison of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, as the editor-in-chief. His vision for the journal and the partnership with Springer is, "to provide a venue for researchers and scholars in various disciplines to publish their work on instructional technology in higher education."

Marie Sheldon, Senior Publishing Editor of Education at Springer, echoes his sentiments and adds, "Springer recognizes the importance of varied perspectives when considering technology in higher education, and we look forward to the provocative and important issues considered within the Journal of Computing in Higher Education."

The Journal of Computing in Higher Education will be available in print and on Springer's online platform www.springerlink.com. All articles will be published online via Online First™ before they appear in print, thereby ensuring rapid dissemination of research results. In addition, all authors, via the Springer Open Choice™ program, have the option of publishing their articles using the open access publishing model. The journal will be published three times a year.
