Here the latest news on the Journal of Biogeography editorial work stoppage and mass resignations, from Twitter/X:
I along with 95% of #AssociateEditors have now #Resigned from @jbiogeography. @WileyGlobal never responded to our invitation to discuss #BetterPublishing.
Very sad to see this outcome of a once highly respected journal. But hope we all learned a lesson from this and stop submitting to such journals.
And here a blog post summarizing the whole matter and what has been going on in the background since my last update:
https://journalofbiogeographynews.org/2023/08/28/11th-hour-talks-fail/
Also includes a list of other/better journals that we can consider or even prefer in the future.
Let us hope this all was not in vain and we keep up the momentum.
@JulianSchrader Very interesting, thanks for sharing and kudos on the action!
Concerning your recommendations of alternate journals, do you know @DAFNEE?
@marcrr No, I didnt know that one - thanks for sharing, looks super useful.
The point is that there are a lot of really good options and alternatives around that we can use instead of always going back to publishers like Wiley.
Thank you so much for this.
You're showing the way.
@JulianSchrader This is a bummer, but there are other options- The IBS International Biogeography Society https://www.biogeography.org has its own journal: Frontiers of Biogeography https://escholarship.org/uc/fb
@Leonard Yes, that's a good example and I hope we can develop the journal further in the next years. Currently it is not listed by Clarivate unfortunately. But more submissions of potentially high-impact studies may help to change that. Let's try!
