| Sumario: | The article discusses the achievements and future initiatives of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies (JEMS) as it begins its first issue of 2026. It highlights significant metrics from the previous year, including 1450 submissions, a 15% acceptance rate, and a strong emphasis on open access, with 50% of articles available to the public. The journal aims to foster a global community of migration scholars, particularly by expanding representation from underrepresented regions such as Latin America and Africa. New initiatives include a series of forum articles and interviews with established migration scholars to enhance engagement and support for early career researchers. The article also reflects on the passing of influential scholar Richard Alba and acknowledges the contributions of the editorial team and supporting staff.
