Reverse Auction Referees Reports: Longer Than a Tweet, Shorter Than a Post
Eli notes periodical (every 6.77 months) discussions about why the hell has my paper not been reviewed in six months and the double reverse, who the hell has time symphony. The bunny has a simple suggestion, editors should send their begs with an accompanying set of set of rules, For example
1. Do the review in ten days and win $30Now somebunnies will argue that the publishers are going broke as it is, but think, they could surely offer discounts on the next set of publication charges, Even better they could offer transferable certificates that could be traded for such things as pizzas and maybe even lab supplies. A chocolate bar or even a carrot in the mail would go far with Eli.
2, Do the review in twenty days and win $15
3. Take longer and we have a list of where to send your next paper.
