The executive committee of the UK Foundation Year Network ran a pilot of the online Journal of the Foundation Year Network in 2018 and, following publication of the first issue in December 2018, the decision was taken to continue supporting this endeavour.

The journal seeks to promote the objectives of the Foundation Year Network which are to organise an annual Foundation Year Network Conference and to represent, promote and support:

• good practice in foundation year provision
• the academic and scholarly activities of foundation year practitioners
• continuing professional development opportunities for foundation year practitioners
• diversity of provision for entry into higher education
