In an exceptionally painful decision, all but one member of Elsevier's Journal of Human Evolution editorial board resigned, citing their inability to work with the publisher in good conscience.
The board expressed deep concern over recent changes imposed by Elsevier that undermine the journal's principles, specifically the elimination of support roles and restructuring that compromises editorial quality.
The editorial board emphasized their long-term loyalty and efforts to uphold the journal's high standards for 38 years but were left with no choice due to Elsevier's direction.
The proposed restructuring that reduces associate editors while increasing their workload will lead to less expertise handling submissions, which the board views as detrimental to the journal.
