Oxford University Press to stop publishing China-sponsored science journal

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one journal—it’s a flashpoint in the wider debate over research integrity, especially when state-backed science clashes with global ethical standards. The move raises questions about how academic publishers handle politically sensitive research and whether partnerships with government-affiliated institutions can compromise independent scrutiny. For researchers and readers, it’s a reminder that who funds and publishes science matters as much as the findings themselves.
