Furthermore, at the institute level, we have advised our researchers not to submit any article to either #stoten or #chemosphere till everything is clarified

I understand your skepticism, as indeed I have published articles in #stoten where the handling editor was either Sergi or Damià. However, in none of these cases did I choose who the editor was. Thus, I submitted some articles to #stoten along my career for its multidisciplinary component

It’s good to see that there are colleagues exposing issues in research. However, in this case, our colleague is completely mistaken, as I was one of the signatories of the article we published on Spanish media calling for the resignation of Damià Barceló
