Where do you get good editing and design work for $5? Most reviewers don't want $15 from the author. Quoting http://www.senseaboutscience.org/pages/peer-review

Most reviewers don't want $15 from the author. Quoting http://www.senseaboutscience.org/pages/peer-review-survey-2009.html http://www.senseaboutscience.org/pages/peer-review-survey-20... :
> Reviewers divided over incentives: Just over half of reviewers think receiving a payment in kind (e.g. subscription) would make them more likely to review; 41% wanted payment for reviewing, but this drops to just 2.5% if the author had to cover the cost. Acknowledgement in the journal is the most popular option.
- facetube 11y agoI suspect the parent meant $5 per sale; if you were selling millions of copies of papers, you'd have a substantial editing and design budget.
- dalke 11y agoAhh, that makes sense - I missed the context. When does it end? I'm reading papers from the 1960s and '70s - where should I send the $5? Do I adjust for inflation? And how do I send Deutsche Marks to West Germany?
