_Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) has been the official journal of the Deutsche Vereinigung fรผr Mathematische Logik und fรผr Grundlagenforschung der exakten Wissenschaften (DVMLG). The DVMLG was initially happy with Wiley for respecting its editorial independence. But in an April open letter it charges "that the attitudes and procedures of Wiley have changed considerably in the last few years and that commercial and profit-oriented interests are now influencing the editorial process negatively." DVMLG will not renew with Wiley when the current contract expires at the end of 2025.

And BTW, the DVMLG wants its journal to be #DiamondOA.

The editorial board of the 52-yr old _Journal of Human Evolution_ just resigned to protest #Elsevier's interference with editorial practices, reducing journal quality, and insistence on a high #APC ($3990), reducing its affordability to authors in the field. "We all care deeply about the journal, our discipline, and our academic community; however, we find we can no longer work with Elsevier in good conscience."

There's no sign yet that the editors will launch a new #OpenAccess journal somewhere else. So I've not yet added it to the #OAD list of journal #DeclarationsOfIndependence
