A letter to Taylor & Francis from (most of) what was the editorial board of Communications in Algebra. The header is by Jim Coykendall. The managing editor to whom Jim refers is Scott Chapman, who was apparently summarily dismissed by T&F.

Math friends: Last evening just before 10pm, approximately 80% of the editorial board of Communications in Algebra resigned (the joint letter of resignation is below) and it appears that at least another 10% will step down independently. I would advise caution when considering this journal (possibly other Taylor and Francis journals?) until such time as it gets back on an even keel. As of this post (1 business day after the resignation), all of the resigning editors are still in the editorial system and none have been contacted. Additionally, the managing editor position has been vacant for a week and there has been no replacement (and no visible movement in that direction); the papers appear to be just piling up. If this situation is coupled with multiple full reviews, I would not submit any paper there for which a timely decision is required.

To Whom It May Concern:

We as editorial board members at Communications in Algebra are sending this notification of our resignation from the board. This letter is being written to explain our position. We note at the outset that a number of the signatories are willing to finish their currently assigned queue if requested by Taylor and Francis.
