This virtual issue presents a curated collection of nine landmark social enterprise articles, put together by five guest editors and published in VOLUNTAS since the inaugural issue of the journal. Five of the articles from the virtual issue are available for free through the end of March, and the entire virtual issue is free for ISTR members.

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.

We are pleased to announce the winners of Best Paper in Voluntas.
