For Reinstatement of Sacked Editors at CMAJ
AN APPEAL

The Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor of a Journal, who brought it to scientific respectability, are summarily fired by a three-paragraph announcement
http://www.cmaj.ca/misc/press/feb20.shtml/

The Editor appointed in his place, along with another Deputy Editor, resigns just a week later on the issue of editorial independence.

Respected journals like the BMJ
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/332/7540/0-f?ehom
and Lancet
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673606682779/fulltext/
write editorials denouncing the ouster.

WAME President
http://www.wame.org/cmajed.htm
and ICMJE
http://www.icmje.org/cmaj.htm
are equally distressed.

16 out of the 19 editorial board members of the Journal risk their positions, and potential careers, by writing a petition asking for the reinstatement of the Sacked Editors:

Will you not do a simple act of expressing solidarity with these struggling against injustice and highhandedness?

Just go to
http://www.chaps.ucalgary.ca/cmaj.htm
read what’s written there and express your solidarity with them by asking for restoration of the original editorial board by filling up the form at:

One good act. It costs you nothing. But it expresses all the values you always stood for, and admired in others.

Just do it.

I did.
