Abstract
Thinking back to 2008 brings us to a different early childhood world - one before all the changes associated with the National Quality Agenda. In 2008, AJEC was the 'Australian Journal of Early Childhood' - seven to eight articles were published each issue and all an in hard copy. Coming forward to 2013 we are the 'Australasian Journal of Early Childhood'. We publish 12 to 16 articles per issue, and five to eight of these are online only. One of the reasons for the name change was to try and open the journal to a wider Australasian audience.
