For turnaround time, I would probably say yes. Right now it's typically to have several months to review a journal paper. And there's really not much a journal can do if a reviewer is late other than not ask them to review again. Even if reviewers were paid, I suspect it would be difficult from a budgetary perspective to difficult to have serial reviewing be lucrative with the possible exception of adjunct faculty who unfortunately are typically very underpaid.
- ta988 6y agoI'm curious to know in what field you get months for reviewing. In chemistry almost everything is 2-3 weeks, lower for open access journals.

- ta988 6y agoWait time is different. It is due to the editor overwhelmed, and the difficulty to find reviewers and also their typesetting made in foreign country with cheaper labor.
