Would you peer review manuscripts for a journal or press that politically censors its content? If your answer is no, then please join us in making your statement public by signing this petition.
Why the need for what seems like such an obvious defense of academic freedom?

The Press agreed to censor content in China Quarterly, but then changed this decision after international scholarly protest.
