Dear all,
This has been in the making for a long time now. When Pascal (Hitzler) stepped down from being an editor-in-chief of the Semantic Web journal, I agreed to stay on during the transition period and for the selection of a new team. Pascal and I have been editors-in-chief since the journal's launch in 2010, so saying my goodbyes is a sentimental process. With Cogan Shimizu and Eva Blomqvist, we have found an experienced, enthusiastic, and well-respected team that can carry the journal forward and have been doing so as managing editors for a while now.

Since its launch in 2009 the Semantic Web journal (SWJ) has been a firm supporter of so called 'green' open access (OA). For SWJ that meant that all journal issues from volume 1, issue 1 onwards were published in accepted manuscript format on the semantic-web-journal.net webpage and are available to anyone, for free. Initially, the official published version of the issues were available only to licensed users at the IOS Press website. From 2020 onwards the journal became a full 'gold' open access journals.
