"In December 2024, the editorial board of the
Journal of Human Evolution
resigned en masse following disagreements with the journal’s publisher,
Elsevier. The board’s grievances included claims of inadequate copyediting,
misuse of artificial intelligence (AI), and the high fees charged to make
research articles publicly available.
The previous year, more than 40 scientists who made up the entire academic
board of a leading journal for brain imaging also walked off the job. The
journal in question,
Neuroimage, is also published by Elsevier, which the
former board members accused of being “too greedy”.
Elsevier has previously denied using AI and has disputed that its business
practices are untoward.
Mass resignations of journal editors are becoming more frequent. They highlight
the tension between running a for-profit publishing business and upholding
research integrity."
