Résumé
The year 2024 was Systematic Entomology's best yet in terms of number of submissions, superseding 2023 as previous record year for submissions. In 2024, we published 41 articles with corresponding authors from 20 countries around the world and the majority of our submissions were received from China and the United States. We are delighted to see such a global representation in the journal. Over 50% of our articles in 2024 were published open access for the first time. It is positive that more people can read, share and reuse our content than ever before. However, we recognize that it is important to ensure that all authors, whether or not they have funding for open access or transformative agreements (through their research institute or university), can publish in our journal, and OA remains optional.
