The Chronicle: 7/4/2003: Editor of ‘Labor History’ Quits, and Dozens Join Him; Oxford Press Hires Editor From Princeton. This happened in July, but it just now sifted down to me from the newsletter of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC). Evidently, the entire editorial board walked out. “Labor: Studies in Working Class History in the Americas, a new journal founded by the entire editorial board of Labor History, a commercial title owned by Taylor and Francis. As SPARC’s first partnership in the humanities, the alliance with Labor broadens SPARC’s reach into another field plagued by disproportionate prices for commercial journals and a lack of competitive alternatives.”
