Abstract

In 2011 the Journal of Hymenoptera Research chose the open access route through the services of Pensoft Journal System. This Editorial published in the 30th issue summarizes the results of the transition to open access and highlights its benefits, including remarkably higher visibility, active dissemination through technological advancement, and last but not the least, the rapid growth of the journal.
