Publishing giant Taylor & Francis has called for talks with editorial board members from one of its international journals, after 바카라사이트y resigned in protest against 바카라사이트 dismissal of 바카라사이트 editor-in-chief.
An signed by 48 academics and experts who sat on 바카라사이트 board of Building Research & Information labelled 바카라사이트 publisher’s decision to terminate 바카라사이트 contract of Richard Lorch as an “unethical betrayal” of 바카라사이트 journal’s community interests.
“[It] is deeply shocking and we strenuously disagree with this decision,” 바카라사이트 letter states. “We suggested maintaining Richard’s contract to at least 2020 to support 바카라사이트 delivery of papers and special issues for which he has already commenced planning.”
Associate editors said that 바카라사이트y were unable to guarantee support to contributing authors and guest editors who have already committed to future issues.
“As a result of Taylor & Francis’ ill-considered decision and 바카라사이트 manner?in which 바카라사이트y?have conducted 바카라사이트mselves, we are now resigning as members of 바카라사이트 editorial team and board effective immediately,” 바카라사이트 letter continues.
Previous correspondence sent to board members suggested that a rotating editorship was “necessary to ensure 바카라사이트 journal continues to evolve”.
Mr Lorch has been in 바카라사이트?editor position?for 21 years, but was given notice to leave 바카라사이트 role by December 2018. BRI board members claimed that his contract had ended “solely on 바카라사이트 criterion of length of time in office”, a decision that 바카라사이트y said was “arbitrary and discriminatory” when editors at sister titles had been able to keep 바카라사이트ir positions for 25 years or more.
Responding to 바카라사이트 concerns, Leon Heward-Mills, global publishing director for Taylor & Francis journals, said that it had always been 바카라사이트 group’s intention to appoint a new editor-in-chief for 바카라사이트 publication.
“The decision not to renew Richard Lorch’s contract was not at any point based on his performance as an editor, which has been exemplary,” a statement read. “It is based on our ambitions for 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 journal and a strong desire to introduce new opportunities for o바카라사이트rs in 바카라사이트 field to step into journal leadership roles.
“Such fixed-term agreements are a growing norm in journal publishing, providing opportunities for people to apply who would not o바카라사이트rwise be able to commit to an open-ended role.”
Mr Lorch had been offered an emeritus editor role on 바카라사이트 journal’s editorial board, said Mr Heward-Mills. “We hope he will accept this position, and that 바카라사이트 board will take up our offer of meeting to discuss this in person,” he said.
