Recent studies indicate that compensating peer reviewers with payments around USD$250 can hasten the manuscript review process without compromising review quality. This has reignited debates about whether reviewers should be paid, especially considering the increasing pressure on scientists’ time and the reliance of profitable publishers on volunteer labor. However, while initial experiments show promise, some experts caution against potential unintended consequences, making it a complex issue that should be examined carefully as the academic landscape evolves.
Recent research findings suggest that paying peer reviewers could expedite the review process without compromising the quality of their evaluations, raising important discussions.
As the demand for peer reviews increases, the question of compensating reviewers becomes increasingly relevant, with potential implications for the landscape of scientific publishing.
