Reviewer Reimbursement
Reviewers will be reimbursed $50 via e-gift card for a regular review and $100 for an expedited review (reviews due in 5 business days), for each round of reviewing completed. This will be aggregated and paid out periodically. Reviewers will require a W-9 on file and a 1099-MISC will be issued if exceeding IRS reporting thresholds.
Reviewers will also receive $50 regular / $100 expedited per review credit towards an APC fee per round of review, which can be used for submission fees and up to 50% of the APC cost. Please note that APC credits will expire after 18 months, but can be transferred and/or aggregated between authors with written consent of all parties.
If a reviewer does not wish to keep a W-9 on file, they may instead elect to receive a $100/$200 (normal/expedited) APC credit per review, subject to the same limitations described above.
