Together, we aim to continue to guide ActaDV through the challenges of modern scientific pu- blishing and to compete successfully with other journals. One of the newest changes to our website is the Discus- sion forum added to each article. We intend to create a safe and civilized space to stimulate exchange of acade- mic ideas and opinions. After creating an account each reader will be able to engage in discussion with authors and comment on recent papers. News of more developments is in preparation, e.g. the introduction of Lay abstracts; please visit our website now and then to keep up to date with the latest news. Open Access We will, of course, continue to be an immediate Open Access journal, freely available to anyone with an In- ternet connection. We believe that access to knowledge is a universal human right. Non-profit organization ActaDV is owned by the non-profit organization Society for Publication of Acta Dermato-Venereologica, which means that we are free from any commercial publisher, and therefore are fortunate to be able to make decisions quickly and take new directions whenever needed.
