Hi all, please consider signing this petition I started on Change.org calling for a boycott of peer review service to any non-China-based academic publisher or publication that censors content in China. We are up to 476 signatures from all over the U.S., Europe and Asia. It would be great to get past 500, and even push to 1000. This issue affects scholars in all fields, not just in Asian or Chinese Studies.
Please also disseminate widely to colleagues and relevant institutions!
For maximum impact, when you sign, please leave the box checked for 'Display my name and comment on this petition,' and include your academic affiliation in the comment box for 'Reason for signing'.
