I'm having this discussion on FB right now with folks in my academic circle. Publishers make enough money to pay reviewers/editors. They also have the infrastructure to create a meritocracy if they so choose. But the issue goes way beyond payment. This is a complex, systemic problem with no easy fix

If journals are overwhelmed with submissions and underwhelmed by response from reviewers, how can we maintain timely, peer-reviewed, high-rigor science dissemination? #science #academic @academic-chatter.bsky.social I am hearing this feedback from some editors... Should reviewers get paid? by who?
