Submission Fees and Response Times in Academic Publishing
研究了投稿费和审稿周期如何通过抑制低质量稿件来减轻编辑审稿负担,并发现适度的费用和延迟组合能最大化期刊质量。
Both submission fees and response times enable editors to maintain an acceptable refereeing burden by discouraging the submission of articles with low probability of acceptance. When authors differ in their ability or willingness to pay submission fees and deal with delays, journal quality is maximized under a combination of moderate fees and moderate delays.
