VOLUNTAS: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations - Virtual special issue: The previous editors' selection of well-recognized papers

Virtual special issue: The previous editors' selection of well-recognized papers

The outgoing editors, Taco Brandsen and Ruth Simsa, have made a personal selection of papers they consider representative of the strength and diversity of Voluntas. These are now re-published in this virtual issue, as a sign of gratitude to the journal's authors, reviewers and readers, without whom none of our work of the past six years would have been possible.
