The decision of academic publisher Wiley to withdrew 11,000 journal articles and close 19 journals is being supported by reputable scholars.

Toni Salieri, Editor of The Journal of French Twentieth Century Feminist/Queer Cinema, believes the closures strengthen legitimate scholarship.

“At the JOFTCFQC, quality is our misson. Take our recent special edition on the impact of structural colonizer bias on the creation of Czechoslovakian subtitles. Those were 32 quality articles that will change the world’s view of twentieth century french cinema forever.”

On the other side, editors of the Sociology of Microaggression were offended when one of their articles was rescinded for suspect data sets. They were also offended by the letter of notification that did not use their preferred pronouns. Then they were offended when the response to their letter demanding an apology was replied to with an email.

In a bit of positive news, psychologist, Benson Boyd, achieved APA gold status for publishing 50 peer-reviewed studies based on a single dataset of 30 college sophomores.
