petersuber on Nostr: I just learned (late!) about the mass editorial resignations at the Journal of ...
I just learned (late!) about the mass editorial resignations at the Journal of International Students (Nov 2023) to protest the unilateral decision by the founding editor to transfer the journal to an unnamed publisher and introduce #APCs. Six months later the editors who resigned launched a new #DiamondOA journal in the same niche.
I just added an entry about it to the #OpenAccessDirectory list of journal declarations of independence.
