Some editors at journals published by Bentham have resigned in the wake of revelations that nonsense papers were accepted for publication, including Bambang Parmento, editor of the journal in question. "I didn't like what happened," Parmanto told The Scientist. "If this is true, I don't have full control of the content that is accepted to this journal." Meanwhile, in response to the incident, the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) has launched a blog, saying "there is a particular need to ensure that authors and readers can have confidence in the editorial standards enforced by these new [open access] journals and publishers."
