Abstract
The 107 years of Preslia have yielded 93 printed volumes. Now, after more than a century, an important change is coming - starting with issue 1 of volume 94 (2022), Preslia will be published in the Gold Open Access model.
The papers will no longer be released in a printed issue but published electronically as PDF files, freely available for download at the journal's website, www.preslia.cz. The decision made by the journal's owner and publisher, the Czech Botanical Society, was based on the vote among Preslia subscribers and reflects current publication trends and the economic situation.
Wewant to use this opportunity to look back at Preslia's history, highlight the trends in scope, and provide some summary statistics. Interested readers can find a more detailed account of Preslia history in the Editorial published on the occasion of the journal's 100th anniversary (Pyšek et al. 2014).
