Peer-review is free. Editing and Lay-out etc is done with the journal (not much though as they supply latex templates for your work). So there is some cost associated with this.
- prepend 6y agoI actually prefer the layout on arxiv over actual journals and recently was kind of surprised how the manuscript management system changed my layout more than just my preprint pdf. I think the layout costs could be reduced to near zero (ie, enough to be paid through the charity that funds preprint) with no negative impact. Editing is useful, I think. Although I don’t anything about the current costs or necessary costs.
