In October 2015, the editors and editorial board of "Lingua" resigned en masse to protest their inability to come to an agreement with Elsevier regarding fair pricing models for open access publishing. The former editors and board of "Lingua" started a new journal, while Elsevier continues publishing "Lingua" with new editors and a new  editorial board. The original editorial board of "Lingua" is supported in their protest by the Association of Research Libraries, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the American Council on Education, the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, the "Confederation of Open Access Repositories", Educause, and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition. In 2016, Glossa was hosted by Ubiquity Press. Since 2021, Glossa is hosted by Open Library of Humanities and uses the open source software Janeway both for the journal website and as submission system. Abstracting and Indexing. The journal is indexed in the Web of Science Social  Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (AHCI), the Directory of Open Access Journals, EBSCO Knowledge Base, and other services. Influence. "Glossa" has been cited as a predecessor for "Algebraic Combinatorics", a mathematics journal established under similar circumstances when the editorial board of Springer's "Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics" resigned "en masse" in 2017. The editorial board criticized Springer for "double-dipping", that is, charging large subscription fees to libraries in addition to high fees for authors who wished to make their publications open access.
