And they expect you to do this for free?

Do they not have to pay for the privilege? Or is this not referring to academic publishing? (It’s not super clear, but context indicates academic?)

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 27 points 1 month ago

If it is that makes it even worse. Academic publishers need to be abolished.

Nah, they get “Exposure”!

Anyone who reviews for the major publishers is part of the problem.

For profit corporations don't deserve your volunteer work.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Agreed that you should have some kind of "service" on your CV, but reviewing is pretty low impact. And if you want to review, you can choose something other than the predatory publishers.
