There is a significant gap in journal provision between the two fields of knowledge encompassed by ‘e-Learning and Leadership’, which, in the context of this BJET edition, we term ‘e-Leadership’. There are many scholarly communities within both fields, but for the most part these different academic communities do not attend each others’ conferences or publish articles in the same journals. The special issue bridges the divide between the communities involved, notably but not exclusively with reference to the educational aspects which they share: for example, learning about leadership and leadership development in online communities and social media. This area is amongst many new trends in the interface between these fields that have been emerging in recent years. The issue will include high quality contributions from both domains, since although a small number of existing journals – for example, the E-Journal of Organizational Learning and Leadership, the Leadership Quarterly, the Journal of Group and Organizational Management, the Human Technology Journal and the British Journal of Educational Technology itself – are able to publish some articles at this interface, there is no recent definitive special collection involved. The majority of journals which are situated at the boundaries between these fields either do not cover the emergent issues and research problems at all or do so rarely.
