Why referees are not paid (enough)
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to determine the reasons why referees for journals are often paid nothing for their work. A simple model that illustrates how monetary payments, which can motivate referee performance, are not used by editors. The model is based on the interaction between the potential referee and the editor-publisher of a journal. Results indicate that a concern for quality leads to the failure of both editors and referees to internalize fully the effects of their choices on others.
