> How is reviewing a research paper a community service? Traditionally we are neither offered nor would accept payment for technical paper reviews to avoid any suggestion of bias. Since someone reviews my papers too, I get roughly the same value of work back in-kind. We are bound by academic integrity to not discuss reviews, unpublished work, or the identity of any reviewer. This is a very strong norm. On NDAs generally: if your entire job is based saying what you think, you avoid signing anything that restricts your ability to do that.
