Editors break away from Elsevier to launch independent neuroscience journal.

Editors at NeuroImage, a top journal for imaging of the brain and spinal column, resigned en masse after publisher Elsevier refused to lower article publishing fees. The editors are starting their own journal, Imaging Neuroscience, with MIT Press. The new journal aims to replace NeuroImage as the top journal in the field, with lower publishing fees and a focus on open access. The departing editors and Elsevier have agreed for the departing editors to continue reviewing papers that have already been submitted.
