Playing devils advocate here:
Reviewers themselves aren't paid, but the publishers do pay editors to do preliminary filtering, select reviewers, collect their comments and decide what to do with them.
Now that is relatively little work for the comparatively extortionate prices they charge.
- ska 10y agoI'm pretty sure that is inconsistent also (i.e. editor is not necessarily a paid position). Furthermore, in the cases I know of where the editorial work is paid, it is only a nominal amount - there is no sense in which the time involved is actually covered by the fees.
- Ar-Curunir 10y agoEditors are paid a pittance, at most.
