RE: Covert Article Republishing Discovered in Emerald/MCB UP 1989-2003

Sally,

You're right - everybody makes mistakes and once they are corrected, it's
time to move on.

But in this case, Phil's point about accountability is relevant in many
ways.  If Emerald were offering high-quality journals which offer good
value in return for investment - which a great majority of commerical
publishers are doing - then we should move on.

It is not my belief that they are,
