We want to thank Taylor & Francis and specifically the staff who served our journal so well for a long time! Acta Chirurgica Scandinavica, the owner of Scand J Urol, and its editorial board have decided to transit from our current paper-based subscription-paid publication to an online Open Access publication. In order to do so we have changed publisher to Medical Journals Sweden (MJS) a small Swedish non-profit company that will be our new publisher. The journal will from now on be reached by readers and authors at [1], where all articles can be read by all readers online (there will be no paper issues) without any kind of paywall and no subscription fees. The conversion to Open Access is in line with the international development of scientific publication driven amongst others by cOAlition S, a consortium of research funding organisations [2]. For authors Open Access means a better exposure of their work and therefor a higher chance of citations. There will be a publication charge, in publisher lingo ‘APC; article processing charge’, paid by the authors or their institution.
