Again, this is something about which the board should have at the very least been consulted instead of learning this by way of the cloak-and-dagger removal of a respected and visionary managing editor who worked well with the board and made demonstrable advances for the journal's prestige. We are gravely concerned about the future of Communications in Algebra. Taylor and Francis has not only removed Scott Chapman but also has not even reached out to the editorial board and is not taking any visible steps to replace Scott (which would not be an easy task even if Scott were only a mediocre editor). This, coupled with the Taylor and Francis' puzzling antipathy to input on best practices in mathematics research publishing and review, as well as its apparent abandonment of the Taft Award that they committed to last year, belies an aggressive disdain for the future quality of Communications in Algebra. We certainly hope you will adopt a more positive and productive relationship with your next board. R. Beheshti G. Carnovale J. Coykendall J. East P. García-Sánchez A. Geroldinger F. Gotti D.
