A journal paying for reviews

The BMJ will start paying £50 for reviews.

The catch? It’s not for peer review, it’s for reviews from patients and the public. They still expect peer reviews to be done as part of service.

Their announcement post does not describe how they will address several of what I consider to be potential problems. While my previous post was about posting for reviews from academics, I think many of the issues will also apply to public and patient review.

I’m going to sign up as a public reviewer. Because why not? I could use 50 quid. And I’d like to see what this looks like from the inside.
