Editors of Fake Open Access Article Resign

Bob Grant at The Scientist reports that the editor behind the fake article in an open access journal have resigned (reported by OEN). The editor acknowledges some responsibility, but asserts that others at the publisher (Bentham) are responsible as well. From the article:

Parmanto said that he had never seen the phony manuscript that was accepted by TOISCIJ. “I want to lessen my exposure to the risk of being taken advantage of.”
