The catch is it’s $11000
- chaps 5y agoI mean, I'm coming at this from the perspective of a freelance journalist where sometimes the best rate I can get for a story that took three months to research is $250. Not talking just interviews and finding expert sourcing, but deeply involved work with code, data analysis, data cleanup, etc etc etc, often that nobody else is doing. So, that's pretty fucking good in my book, man.

- unmole 5y agoYou seem to have misunderstood. The authors don't get paid anything for publishing. Nature typically puts papers behind a paywall. Nature will make a paper available for free if the authors pay Nature ~11k.

- harles 5y agoIt sounds like you have this backwards. Imagine getting paid $250 for an article and then having to pay $11k out of your own pocket so anyone can actually read it.

- dontreact 5y agoNo, you have to pay 11k to publish
- cossatot 5y agoLike the rest of the comments say, this is a fee that the authors pay to publish, not a commission that is paid to the authors. However, if they're Chinese, the authors may get paid quite a bit (~$50-100,000) as a reward for publishing in a top journal: https://www.enago.com/academy/paid-to-publish-the-chinese-cash-cow/ https://www.enago.com/academy/paid-to-publish-the-chinese-ca...
- chaps 5y agoOh wow. Yeah, that's absolutely disgusting.
