Editors Step Down From Journal, Citing Lack of Support

Retraction Watch reported that all four editors in chief of the journal Aging Cell resigned, citing workload issues and lack of support. The editors, Peter Adams, Julie Andersen, Adam Antobi and Vera Gorbunova, along with John Sedivy, a reviews editor, said in a now-public resignation letter that they’ve struggled to manage an increasing number of submissions, some 540 already this year, and that they haven’t been allowed to pay volunteer section editors based on the number of manuscripts they handle. The editors in chief also said their approximately $2,600 pay had not increased since 2006. Many journal editors are currently reporting increased workloads and difficulty finding volunteer referees to read submissions. 

Wiley and the Anatomical Society, the journal's publishers, said in a statement that "academic publishing is a partnership, and we are committed to supporting editors at every level. In the past weeks, we have made several attempts to engage the editors in chief in discussion to better understand their needs and achieve compromise, but our efforts were unsuccessful, and we have accepted the editors’ resignations. Aging Cell has a bright future, and we thank all the editors for their excellent work."

When medievalist Mary Rambaran-Olm wrote about having her book review “torpedoed” for not being “more generous” to the book’s authors, no one could have expected that this would send shock waves across the academic community in what became an online maelstrom revealing the extent of white academic gatekeeping, ally performativity and blatant racism. For those of us who work on decentering whiteness in premodern fields such as classics, medieval/early modern studies, archaeology and in or on the Global South, this latest attack targeting a scholar of color exposed what many of us have been trying to draw attention to for years—that racism is deep and pernicious in the so-called liberal and woke academy. Rambaran-Olm was commissioned to review The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe ( HarperCollins ) for the Los Angeles Review of Books because of her expertise in early English medieval literature and history, and because she is one of the leading scholars challenging the

Consdierations for Another Uncertain Semester

Blog:  Just Visiting There are going to be a lot of sick people on college campuses in the fall. This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.) While indications are that the coronavirus vaccines are holding up well against the Delta variant in preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even vaccinated people are getting sick. It is beyond frustrating that a virus that could’ve been isolated and marginalized continues to thrive, but for now, as measured by the worst outcomes, we are collectively in a di
