Another option: pay $5 to actual editors and designers, and $15 to reviewers. And save $10. Remember, the publisher typically doesn&#x27;t even help with paper formatting, never mind copyediting.<p>Unpaid reviewers (who allegedly agree to work for some &#x27;reputation&#x27; — BS, they&#x27;re anonymous) delegate the actual scientific review to the least busy student of those capable to write a syntactic semblance of a positive review.<p>And then you&#x27;re forced to pay $30 to have a chance to finally review it for yourself, as you&#x27;re the only one interested in quality.<p>Please pay the reviewers, or everybody (in many applied areas at least) will self-publish in blogs and judge quality on HN votes. Like it has happened with most of software research.
