- cpncrunch 3y agoIt depends on the journal, but we're talking here about the journals such as Nature and Elsevier which charge large fees, and those journals do indeed pay their editors.
- goosedragons 3y agoElsevier literally has thousands of journals. They charge large fees but that goes to Elsevier for essentially hosting a website and gatekeeping. Maybe some of the really big journals like Nature pay but not those like "Journal of Algebra" or "Journal of Cleaner Production". I'm sure they have people employed called "editors" but they are not the same as academic editors who decide what gets sent to reviewers.

Elsevier (publisher of "Journal of Algebra") does pay their academic editors: https://medium.com/@SiccodeKnecht/so-what-about-editor-compensation-89fccaf10d71 https://medium.com/@SiccodeKnecht/so-what-about-editor-compe...
