If I still subscribed to Elsevier's Lingua, I'd demand a refund | Martin Paul Eve | Professor of Literature, Technology and Publishing

Summary:

"You may remember that, a while back, the editorial board of Elsevier’s journal, Lingua, decided to leave the publisher to setup a new journal called Glossa that would be totally open access with no author-facing charges. The new journal is published by Ubiquity Press and has ongoing support from the Open Library of Humanities. Many linguistics faculty around the world declared their support for the new journal and denounced the old venue.

Elsevier continues to run Lingua, as is their right. However, if I were a librarian continuing to pay for this publication, I wouldn’t be best pleased. Their latest issue seems indicative of a serious decline in quality in my view, although I am not an academic linguist (though I am doing some literary-linguistic work at present). I also wonder about the copyright status of some of the images reproduced in their most recent issue."
