My colleague the troublemaker Anna Krylov sent me this announcement from the prestigious National Academies of Sciences (NAS). There is to be no bullying, harassment, or discrimination among editors, authors, and reviewers. Not threats or intimidation, either, or “coercion to dominate others,” whatever that means. And if you commit these behaviors at meetings, workshops, conferences, or social functions that involve the National Academies in any way, you can get reported (a helpful link is given). Now the behaviors singled out are indeed uncivilized behaviors that people should obey, and some are already illegal.
