L.S.,

This note shares experience in the years 2014-2015 about the destruction of the scientific discussion platform that ‘Energy Policy’ (Elsevier) once offered to the scientific community.

Three cases illustrate the practices applied (more evidence on the cases can be supplied).
Our experience was not exceptional, as a letter from the Sustainability Transitions Research Network illustrates.
Because the practices were unacceptable and there were no intentions to curb them soon, I resigned from Energy Policy’s Board. The new editor left (voluntary or forced?) a few months later.
