The ICA is delighted to announce that Comma Volume 2021, Issue 1 has now been published in digital format. This is a special issue as it is the first published by the recently appointed Editors-in-Chief Frans Smit and Bethany Anderson. 
One of the most gratifying aspects of this publication, as stated by the Editors-in-Chief in the introduction of this issue, was the volunteers’ involvement in the preparation, review and translation of the content of this issue. In their words, “this work situates Comma as both multilingual and multicultural, making the journal more broadly accessible to the global readership, and thus facilitating greater engagement with authors and their contributions”.  
We invite the ICA members to have a good reading of this issue dedicated to discussing results of the ICA-PCOM’s Africa Programme, to presenting debates in the Africa region on records management and Big Data, to pay tribute to late Dr Charles Kecskeméti and more.
