With the publication of this issue of Ethnologia Europaea, the journal has taken yet another major step on a new trajectory: it has fully entered the digital age and become an online, completely open-access journal. Though access to articles had been made available online before, with an “embargo” period of three years (the “green” model), it is now a “golden” journal – much in tune with its recent 50-year anniversary (see vol. 47:1, 50 Years of Ethnologia Europaea – Readers’ Choices from Half a Century).
