We are pleased to present our latest issue, produced over the last few months, with five exciting articles. These also include the winner of the best paper award from last year’s RAMICS conference in Sofia, written by authors Luiz Arthur Silva de Faria, Bruno Chapadeiro Ribeiro, Henrique L. Cukierman and Eduardo H. Diniz. Go directly to their paper here, see an overview of the complete issue, or as always, find all new contributions on the page “All Issues“.

The IJCCR is in a challenging process of transition which meant that some things have been delayed while our authors had to be patient. That is why the current issue is included in last year’s volume number 26, with the references of the individual papers referring to a 2022 publication date.

Our new Editor-in-Chief Jens Martignoni is convinced that our work is important and a journal on community currencies fills an important niche. But we will need more resources and new ideas in order to continue to thrive in the future. One first step is the “Ideas for debate” section, reopened with this issue. We will publish more articles on elementary monetary concepts and story-lines in the next issues and look forward to stimulating discussion among scholars and practitioners.
