Resignations threat over Taylor & Francis ‘censorship’

Here is the paper in question http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/08109028.2014.891710 also at http://figshare.com/articles/Publisher_be_damned_From_price_gouging_to_the_open_road/1046703

We the the academic workers of the world have been immiserated by the stranglehold of the publishing houses. In fact it might be said: never in the history of literary publication has so much been owed by so few to so many !

Commercial publishing, and that includes most large academic presses (see: http://pietyonkierkegaard.com/2012/08/23/kirmmses-cover-up/ ) has gotten completely out of hand. Hardly any concern exists for the quality of material published and editing services have been slashed to a bare minimum. The only criterion that seems to matter anymore is whether a book will make money for the publisher. There is a good article on this in the most recent print edition of the political journal CounterPunch.
