My colleague Stephen Bainbridge (Business Associations Blog) reports on a faculty edited journal that basically accepted the piece and then in fairly short order withdrew the acceptance, apparently with no justification, offering “scrambled communications” as the only excuse. (I describe the first e-mail as an acceptance because of the statement, “I look forward to hearing back from you at your convenience with a revised final draft that I could then send along to [the chief editor] for conversion into galley proofs.”) Not the best behavior, it seems to me.
