It has been an honor and pleasure to follow their steps. Also a huge thanks to\n<strong>Rajarshi</strong> with whom we have been Editor-in-Chief for close to five years now. It has been a great pleasure to work so actively on Open Science.\nAlso thanks to <strong>Nina</strong> and <strong>Barbara</strong> to joined me and Rajarshi as associate editor and have helped shape the journal. It is comforting I leave\nthe journal with an excellent team. Also, a big thanks to <strong>Samuel</strong> and <strong>Matthew</strong> who have been helping us getting the Open Science things done\nand the the current and past <a href=\"https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/about/editorial-board\">Editorial Board</a> members for important discussions in the\ntelcons. Finally, a thank you to all the <strong>authors and reviewers</strong> who have all been working so hard to make the journal a success!</p>\n\n<h4>References</h4>\n<div class=\"csl-bib-body\">\n    <div class=\"csl-entry\">Willighagen, E.
