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.

Elsevier Journal Faces Mass Resignations Due to Unethical Price Hike

The editorial board of NeuroImage, a leading neuroscience journal published by Elsevier, has resigned over the publisher's decision to raise its open-access fees to $3,450. The editors have accused Elsevier of "pure greed" and have started a new non-profit journal, Imaging Neuroscience. The mass resignation highlights the high open-access charges levied by leading scientific journals, with Nature and Cell charging about £8,000. Elsevier has appointed an interim internal editorial team and said it values its editors highly.
