    Now that you mention it, this I’d actually, truly, insane. $55k?! Per journal? Goddamn that’s a lot of money. And I would assume little to no money would reach the actual researchers who spent months and years working in this.

      little to no money would reach the actual researchers who spent months and years working in this.

      Researchers often pay to get reviewed/published. Typically due to the Journal being open access, but often for things like ‘expedited review’.

      Regardless, they don’t get paid for the article, relying on donations or grants to fund the research (with publication costs included in the proposal).

        Wow. I can’t even begin to imagine how broken the system has to be when the people on whose shoulders we stand, work on donations and grants.
