Honestly, I don't think it's viable to manually optimize for quantity in academic paper reviewing, specifically. But I might be wrong, of course. I think it's too much work for very little profit.
- ghaff 3y agoI was speaking more generally. I'm not really in the "biz" but not sure what the incentives are to do a crap job of academic paper reviewing at scale.
- rscho 3y agoBasically, the only incentives are to slightly improve your resume by showing you are a reviewer for reputable journals, and to get fee waivers for publishing your own work in said journal (in crappy journals, usually). But you if you review a lot, you may get selected to be an editor and then climb the ladder from there, to be editor in a better journal, or become editor-in-chief, all of which can be prestigious (and paid) positions.
